Job Description:

The KPMG Consulting function is a cornerstone of our business. Operating from London, we do work that matters, serving the country with diligence and expertise.

KPMG is one of the world's largest and most respected consultancies. We've supported the UK through times of war and peace, prosperity and recession, political and regulatory upheaval. We've proudly stood beside the institutions and businesses which make the UK what it is.

By encompassing a wide range of disciplines across areas such as Strategy, Forensic, Risk and Regulatory, People and Talent, and Operational and Financial Transformation, we immerse ourselves in our clients' organizations, applying sector knowledge and technology solutions to deliver the best outcomes and ensure first-time right delivery.

Why Join KPMG as a Programme Assurance Manager?

Leadership & Management:

Manage multiple engagements simultaneously for a dedicated Senior Manager and/or Director. Lead and develop junior team members around IPA.

Engage directly with senior stakeholders on the client side (e.g., Programme Directors and CFOs), articulating risks and recommendations from IPA work. Collaborate with internal senior teams to secure resources, deliver, and approve work.

Impact, Risk, Accountability & Governance:

Contribute to risk management activities over large, multi-year engagements. Ensure adherence to all KPMG risk processes due to the high-risk nature of IPA work.

What will you be doing?

• Understand end-to-end business transformation ERP programmes, including challenges and assurance requirements.
• Comprehend all critical workstreams like PMO, business change, architecture, testing, data, and transition, leading focused reviews.
• Identify key risks throughout the programme lifecycle and determine necessary mitigations.
• Translate observations into risks with clear impacts and practical recommendations.
• Manage multiple IPA activities (stage gates, deep dives) and coordinate with other assurance activities, communicating effectively with internal QA teams.

Lead junior teams to produce high-quality outputs under pressure, such as health check reports, stage gate reviews, and readiness assessments.
