We are looking for a Manager with a desire to leverage and expand their experience in Supply Chain, and a previous record of delivering outstanding results when leading complex projects. The nature of projects we deliver is highly varied, which means we need our Managers to be comfortable working with ambiguity, and demonstrate an ability to continually adapt and grow their skills and knowledge.

Description of the role:

Our clients place considerable trust in us and our advice, hence it is important to us that the work that we deliver is of the highest quality. As a Manager, you'll balance internal and external responsibilities, including client work, business development support, people and practice development.

  • Manage high quality analysis that combines KPMG expertise and market insight with quantitative and qualitative analytics.
  • Using your experience in the relevant sectors, either from consulting or industry, support our sales & new business opportunities, and the development of our propositions.
  • Maintain and continue the development of an inclusive team culture, inspiring and empowering team members and supporting their career development.

Leadership & Management:

KPMG's Operational Transformation team (including Supply Chain) comprises circa 60 team members. You will be responsible for managing projects ranging in length from several weeks to many months and leading diverse teams of up to 6-8 consultants supported by sub-contractors and members of the client's own staff. You will deliver projects to agreed deadlines and budgets, although the focus of this role is employing complex analysis to solve client issues.

You will be required to regularly interact with Partners, Directors and Senior Managers within KPMG to source insight and expertise and to provide progress updates. You will also manage interactions with senior members of the client's leadership team. Your clients will be from all industry and commercial sectors. The ability to develop strong relationships with clients from diverse backgrounds and at all levels of seniority, including senior leaders, will be crucial. You will effectively communicate points of view and evidence that shapes decision making.

Impact, Risk, Accountability & Governance:

More and more we are seeing significant events that are having unprecedented impacts on our clients Operations - major disruptions changing customer expectations, emerging technologies, ethical supply chain focus and disruptors entering the market. We help our clients not only to resolve their biggest operational problems but to transform their Supply Chain and Procurement functions to drive differentiation in the marketplace, deliver superior customer experience and competitive advantage.

The Person:
