Job Description

Global advisory, audit, and tax compliance for multinationals is evolving rapidly, driven by technology. The KPMG Delivery Network (KDN) enables clients to access top talent and advanced platforms through regional teams, delivering scalable, consistent solutions worldwide.

• Co‑create and maintain clear, impactful stakeholder communications and training materials tailored to diverse audiences.
• Lead and coordinate complex change initiatives, ensuring strategic alignment and stakeholder buy‑in.
• Identify and engage key stakeholders across the global Tax & Legal ecosystem to maximise influence and impact.
• Facilitate strategic workshops and meetings to drive alignment and surface actionable insights.
• Monitor adoption progress, report outcomes, and use data‑driven insights for continuous improvement.
• Collaborate on risk identification and mitigation related to the KDN Tax & Legal roadmap.
• Measure and evaluate success of adoption initiatives, incorporating feedback to refine strategies.
• Provide timely, strategic feedback and recommendations to senior management based on stakeholder insights and program performance.

• Excellent communication (including PowerPoint) and interpersonal skills
• Strong ability to build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders
• Track record of success in managing complex change initiatives at clients or in a member firm
• Good understanding of the principles of adoption and change management
• Ability to make quick, sound decisions and work in an agile way
