Job description

The Team

The Deal Execution team is part of KPMG's 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.

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 in order 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

• 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.
