Job Description:

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 105 practitioners, working collaboratively with and orchestrating KPMG’s broad set of capabilities within our Advisory business, and are focused on continually enhancing value for clients across the deal and economic cycle. Our teams comprise specialists capable of helping clients from conceptual thinking of buying a business to turning their business around in times of difficulty.

The People in M&A Centre of Excellence handle all aspects of the employee journey in M&A, leveraging experience to enact transformational change outside of deals.

The Manager role is central to the team, leading project delivery alongside senior leaders, with opportunities to specialize across sectors. Our four key client proposition areas are:

Your responsibilities include:

• Leading small to medium engagements and supporting clients daily
• Due Diligence: Contributing to reports, analyzing data, providing insights on people issues, and developing benchmarks
• Integration & Separation: Advising on people and organisational design during integrations and separations, leading workstreams, facilitating workshops, and reviewing organisational design
• Transformational Change: Supporting clients in transformational projects, designing roadmaps, managing risks, and defining success metrics
• Wider Responsibilities: Engaging with stakeholders, coaching teams, ensuring quality, and supporting business development
