• Cultivate positive and collaborative relationships with senior client stakeholders, becoming a trusted advisor.
• Facilitate collaborative and fulfilling working environments for both client and KPMG staff on engagements, promoting a culture of shared success.

• Leverage your internal and external networks to support Partners and Directors in driving business development and sales activities, identifying new opportunities for growth.

• Actively build credibility and relationships within the market, including with prospective clients and key technology vendors.
• Identify and champion cross‑sell opportunities, bringing valuable engagements to other parts of the firm where appropriate.

• Lead the development of processes and initiatives crucial for scaling our business, including through formal training programs across the team.

• Proactively identify and manage risks, ensuring engagement assurance and commercial risk management. You will ensure the Firm's frameworks are implemented appropriately and effectively.

• Demonstrate a proven track record of managing high‑performing delivery teams and actively developing team members within a consulting practice.
• Act as a formal performance manager for junior members of the team, actively participating in our bi‑annual appraisal process.
• Support the development of junior team members through both formal training and informal coaching & mentoring, fostering their growth and success.

• Finance Systems Architecture: Clear understanding on how finance systems are constructed and interact, particularly within the intricate world of Insurance. You understand the blueprints that underpin financial operations.

• Data Integration Designs: You have experience of designing (and delivering) data integrations and understand the best practices and challenges associated.

• Data Modelling: You have experience in designing robust and scalable data structures that transform raw data into insightful, decision‑driving intelligence.

• Delivery Experience: You have a proven track record of bringing complex projects to life, with hands‑on experience in implementing cutting‑edge ERP, regulatory, or reporting platforms.
