Job description

Ready for your next MarComms role? We’re looking for an experienced Marketing and Communications Manager to join KPMG’s Brand team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

It’s a varied role which combines strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery, building trusted stakeholder relationships and bringing complex topics to life through compelling marketing and communications.

You’ll enjoy this role if you like variety, are curious about different industries and issues, and are equally comfortable shaping strategy, advising senior stakeholders and getting stuck into delivery.

The opportunity:

• In this role, you'll develop and deliver strategic, integrated marketing and communication activities across a range of channels, including content, social media, website, events, e-Marketing and public relations.
• You’ll work across a diverse range of services, teams and subject areas, from cyber and ESG to fintech, infrastructure and beyond. You’ll help turn our expertise and ideas into campaigns and content that connect with our audiences, strengthen KPMG’s brand in the market and support our purpose of fuelling New Zealand’s prosperity.
• Reporting to the Marketing and Communications Lead, you’ll join a supportive team that is passionate about bringing KPMG’s business‑to‑business services to life for both external and internal audiences.

Day to day you will:

• Lead the planning, development and delivery of high-quality, integrated campaigns aligned to the firm’s objectives, budgets and timeframes.
• Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders, developing an understanding of their markets, clients and priorities to deliver marketing and communications activity that creates impact.
• Act as a trusted MarComms adviser, confidently providing strategic advice and guidance to stakeholders alongside hands‑on content development and delivery.
• Partner with our CRM team to develop and deliver effective e‑marketing campaigns.
• Work with our Website Specialist to develop and optimise web content.
• Partner with our in‑house Design team to turn briefs and ideas into high-quality creative outputs.
• Review campaign performance and use insights and learnings to continually improve our approach.

About you:

• At least 7 years of relevant marketing and/or communications experience, ideally gained within a large or complex organisation.
• A strong track record of developing, managing and delivering integrated campaigns across multiple channels, including measuring results and applying learnings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including strong copywriting capability and the judgement to navigate sensitive or complex topics.
• A proven ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders and confidently provide sound marketing and communications advice to senior leaders.
• The ability to work at pace, manage several priorities simultaneously, take initiative and take ownership of delivering high-quality work.
• The ability to stay calm when things get busy, be resilient under pressure and to flex and adapt as priorities change.
• A willingness to “roll up your sleeves” when required (you won’t be alone in this!).
• Professional Services or B2B marketing/communications experience will absolutely be an advantage.
