About KPMG

KPMG is a global network of professional services firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory services to many of the world’s foremost companies. We operate in 142 countries and territories and have more than 275,000 people working in member firms around the world. KPMG China has offices located in more than 31 cities across China, with over 14,000 partners and staff.

KPMG China provides multidisciplinary services from audit and tax to advisory, with a strong focus on serving our clients’ needs and their industries. Not only do we have an overriding commitment to provide the highest quality services for our clients, but we also strive to become a responsible corporate citizen that has a positive impact on our environment and community. At KPMG, you’ll translate insights into action and reveal opportunities for all—our teams, our clients and our world.

The Opportunity: Secure the Digital Future

We are living in an era where trust is the new currency. As businesses rush to adopt Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, and Big Data, the risks they face evolve exponentially.

At KPMG Hong Kong, we don't just "check boxes" for compliance. We act as the architects of Digital Trust. We help the world’s leading financial institutions and multinational corporations navigate uncertainty, ensuring that technology acts as a springboard for innovation, not a stumbling block.

KPMG is looking for someone who is passionate about helping our clients with their technology risk and cyber security challenges:

Why join KPMG Technology Risk

• Cutting-Edge Exposure: Work on projects involving AI Governance, Cloud Security Transformation, and FinTech regulation.
• A "One Team" Culture: Our Hong Kong division is one of the fastest-growing and most youthful teams within the firm. We reject silos; you will work alongside Strategy, Risk Consulting, and Digital Transformation colleagues to deliver holistic solutions.
• Impact: You won't just be writing reports. You will help clients defend against cyber-attacks, recover from ransomware, and build ethical governance frameworks for the technologies of tomorrow.

Your Role & Responsibilities

As a Graduate Consultant, you will have the opportunity to work on different areas of Technology Risk and Cyber Security, gaining a 360-degree view of the industry. Your day-to-day may involve:

• Cyber Strategy & Defense: Helping clients simulate cyber-attacks (penetration test, Red Teaming), designing defense strategies.
• Digital Trust: Evaluating the controls surrounding emerging technologies (Blockchain, AI, Cloud) to ensure they are safe, reliable, and compliant with regulators (HKMA, SFC).
• Technology Risk Governance: innovative IT Risk frameworks that align with business strategy, ensuring that IT investments deliver value while minimizing risk.
• Data Privacy: Advising clients on how to protect customer data in an increasingly regulated global landscape (GDPR, PIPL).
• Client Engagement: Collaborate with client stakeholders to understand their pain points and translating complex technical risks into clear business language for C-suite executives.

Benefits We Offer

We know that today’s graduates value growth, flexibility, and purpose. Here is our commitment to you:

• World-Class Certification Support: We sponsor and support your journey toward globally recognized certifications (e.g., CISA, CISSP, OSCP, GXPEN).
• Structured Mentorship: You will be paired with a dedicated performance manager and a "buddy" to guide your career progression and personal well-being.
• Agile Working: We empower you to work where you are most productive, blending client site visits, office collaboration, and remote work.
• Global Mobility: As part of a network operating in 142 countries, high performers often have opportunities for secondments and global project collaboration.
• ESG & Impact: Join a firm committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. Participate in our CSR initiatives and help clients build sustainable, ethical tech ecosystems.

We will help you to develop your skills and career within the KPMG network.

Who We Are Looking For

Modern consulting requires more than just technical know-how; it requires curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence.

The Essentials:

• Academic: Final year student or recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree or above.
• Discipline: Ideally majors in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cyber Security, or Engineering are preferred. We also welcome STEM majors or business graduates with a strong passion for technology and a self-taught technical aptitude.
• Language: Excellent command of written and spoken English. Proficiency in Cantonese and/or Mandarin is highly advantageous for our client base
• Work Status: A permanent resident or holder of the right of abode/IANG visa eligibility in Hong Kong.

The "Consultant Mindset":

• Tech-Savvy Storyteller: You can analyze complex technical problems and explain the business impact to a non-technical management.
• Critical Thinker: You don't just accept things as they are. You ask "Why?" and look for smarter, faster ways to solve problems.
• Agile Learner: Technology changes fast. You are excited to learn about new tools (e.g., Generative AI, Python scripting) and apply them to your work.
• Collaborative Leader: You have demonstrated leadership—whether through university societies, sports teams, or internships—and thrive in a diverse, high-energy team environment.
