Why Join KPMG as a Manager - People Consulting (Financial Services)?

People Consulting is an integral part of KPMG's Management Consultancy practice and a growing part of our business. This team helps to transform the performance of organisations by changing the way people are led, managed, and developed.

• Strong expertise in HR Transformation, Learning solutions, Organisational Transformation, or Workforce Transformation
• Experience of the core techniques of leadership alignment, case for change, stakeholder identification and management, sequencing for the change programme, communication and engagement, impact assessment, and planning people transition. In the area of technology implementation, we would expect experience of user adoption approaches including training and awareness.
• The strongest candidates will have experience across all our capabilities, but we would also consider a deeper specialism in just one area
• We are looking for candidates who understand the financial services environment and have undertaken consulting projects in one or more of the sub‑sectors mentioned above
