Job description

People Consulting Overview:
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. We do this by focusing on two key areas - delivering the people agenda on large scale, complex, change programmes and transforming the HR function through technology.

We have 4 key capabilities:

• HR Transformation
• Learning solutions
• Organisational Transformation
• Workforce Transformation

Summary of the Role and Purpose

We help financial services organisations - Banks, Insurance companies, FMIs, Wealth and Asset managers, and Fintechs - to change and adapt to the environment in which they operate. Changes may be driven by decisions to digitise, to streamline, to pivot, to respond to new regulation or to harness the benefits of analytics or new technology. Or they may be driven by acquisition or disposal. Whatever the reason, our clients are continually re-designing parts of the organisation, and that's where we come in.

Description of the role

We are looking for experienced consultants who can lead Organisation Design workstreams on complex, business critical programmes. You will be expected to:

• Scope, price and design our approach for a particular client (with support from a Partner or Director), and then to lead delivery of this work.
• Lead/support business development and grow revenues from the existing work portfolio.
• Use leading practice problem-solving methodologies to address client issues and structure projects.
• Work and collaborate with colleagues from other service lines such as technology, finance, customer or analytics.
• Lead high quality analysis that combines KPMG expertise and market insight with quantitative and qualitative analysis.
• Act as a main client interface, providing effective, credible, and timely communications with clients.
• Generate thought leadership, drive knowledge sharing and develop consulting skills within our team.
• Develop the team culture, inspiring and empowering team members and supporting their career development.

Skills, qualifications and experience

We expect the successful applicant to have the following technical skills:

• Deep expertise in Organisational Design, including role definition, objective and KPI definition, ways of working, hierarchical design, cost modelling and sizing, grade levelling, and people transition planning. An appreciation of organisational design in an agile context is desirable. Experience of working with Org Vue would also be beneficial.
• A strong appreciation of different approaches to manage behavioural change, including leadership alignment, case for change, stakeholder identification and management, and planning people transition.
• Capability across both Change and OD is preferred, but we are also interested in candidates who are deep specialists in OD.
• Understanding the financial services environment and experience in consulting projects in one or more of the mentioned sub-sectors.
• Experience in consulting, ideally with a recognised professional services firm or global consultancy, is expected. In-house consulting experience is also valued.
• Personal skills to influence and communicate with senior clients, often at C-Suite level, along with strong writing skills and proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel.
• A collaborative mindset, valuing knowledge sharing and support for colleagues.
• A strong sense of curiosity about clients and the discipline of workforce management, with a commitment to continuous learning and sharing insights.

Our Deal

We recognise that as individuals, we each have needs and that one size doesn't fit all, when it comes to how, when and where you work. That's why we're proud to offer our colleagues agile working options. We believe in putting you at the centre of your career. As well as training, development and a stimulating work environment, we offer you access to work with some of the most leading edge, complex, demanding but rewarding financial services companies out there. We are happy to discuss your own requirements and our range of flexible working arrangements in more detail, should that be of interest.
