Job Description

The Deal Execution team at KPMG is part of the rapidly expanding Strategy Group, which delivers value for clients by challenging conventional thinking, bringing deep industry and functional insights, and executing with investor-grade rigour. We are a diverse team of over 150 practitioners, working collaboratively with and orchestrating KPMG's broad set of capabilities within our Deal Advisory business.

Our Strategy and Performance Transformation team works closely with c-suite and senior executives to identify and execute transformation opportunities that add and protect value for shareholders, employees, and society. As the world continues to face unprecedented levels of change through digitalisation, regulation, and post-COVID 'normalisation', we have experienced remarkable market demand for our core services of i) Enterprise-wide Transformation; ii) Performance Improvement; and iii) Growth Strategy. We are now accelerating our mission to create value, by turning ambitions into reality, through executing sustainable, fair, and profitable business strategies, at pace.

Our three key client proposition areas are:

Due Diligence: Highlighting key risks and opportunities in the target's technology environment to ensure that acquirers are aware of key issues that may impact valuation.

Integration: Planning pre and post-deal to support the client to integrate the technology function and systems into the buyer's organisation while enhancing value.

Separation: Supporting vendors to plan and deliver a credible, discrete standalone entity on Day 1 to the buyer with value preserved and business continuity ensured from a technology perspective, including support to define and implement transitional service agreements.

The Role:

KPMG's Deal Execution practice is looking for exceptional candidates for an Assistant Manager role.

You will deliver projects working closely alongside senior members of the team, who will provide guidance and insight in the deal environment. This will provide you with the opportunity to build your transactions knowledge and further develop your technology skills base.

Contributing content for sections of reports/deliverables

Integration & Separation

Advising on technology aspects of integration, separation (carve outs), and optimisation initiatives (synergy analysis), including the development of target operating models, understanding the current technology landscape, defining transitional service agreements, developing detailed plans, and supporting the implementation of such plans.

Support the technology workstream in integrations and separations within a larger team of Integration & Separation colleagues

Identification or review of client synergies for technology within a larger team

Wider team

When you are not working on a project, you will provide support to senior colleagues in a number of different aspects, such as preparation of proposal materials, development of propositions, etc.

Leadership & Management

You will support the Manager on both small and large projects in a client-facing role. You will be expected to support the management and performance development of junior team members, as well as supporting the Manager and Associate Director in day-to-day project activities.

Stakeholder Interaction & challenges

You will manage some clients directly and be the key point of contact on projects. You will also be expected to manage internal stakeholders, all the way up to Partner level.

Impact, Risk, Accountability & Governance

You will be expected to support the Manager in managing project risks and engagement activities. You will also be expected to be involved in internal initiatives and practice development.
