Service Line Information

At KPMG, our vision is to be the clear choice on the future of Audit. In today's complex and ever-changing business world, we recognise that we need to be one step ahead for our clients - rather than reacting to emerging trends we need to anticipate them by harnessing technology. Our people are integral to this, bringing their natural curiosity, diversity of ideas and perspectives to help deliver client excellence.

KPMG Overview

KPMG is part of a global network of firms that offers Audit, Tax & Pensions, Consulting, Deal Advisory and Technology services. Through the talent of over 16,000 colleagues, we bring our creativity and insight to our clients' most critical challenges.

With offices across the UK, we work with everyone from small start-ups and individuals to major multinationals, in virtually every industry imaginable. Our work is often complex, yet our vision is simple: to be the clear choice for our clients, for our people and for the communities we work in.

Job Description

We have fantastic opportunity for you to work at a world renowned professional services company. We are keen to recruit talented people who have the energy and drive to succeed in a dynamic and challenging environment and who have a passion for delivering excellent service and building strong relationships.

The Tech Risk team is an integral part of our rapidly growing National Markets Consulting practice. As a multi-disciplinary practice we deliver a comprehensive range of consulting services that our clients demand. Our Tech Risk specialists deliver four key proposition to our clients:
- Assurance of technology through Internal Audit.
- Attestation over the use of technology at third parties.
- The use of technology in the External Audit.
- Advice on the management of technology risk.
Our core client base is predominantly within financial services and large corporates, but we are increasingly finding that our specialist skills are needed by firms in other industries like Health and Public Sector.
These clients need to deal effectively with their operational risks, to achieve maximum value from their technology, data and processes and our Tech Risk specialists provide independent, jargon-free advice to help them achieve this potential.
We also work closely with other consulting teams, for example cyber security specialists, digital experts and technology strategists to ensure our clients receive the best possible advice.
The team works in an agile and flexible manner, with plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and gain new knowledge. We are keen to support and develop our people to enable them to be the best they can be.

Roles and Responsibilities


A successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Delivering value added assurance services to clients.
- Conducting fieldwork and managing and supervising small project teams in delivery of assurance assignments.
- Assisting with scoping, internal financial management, managing delivery risk, production and initial review of deliverables.
- Building and managing client relationships across a number of clients.
- Actively identifying and progressing business development opportunities, as well as managing sales activities such as proposal development and assisting with client presentations.
- Developing internal networks and maintaining relationships with colleagues across other teams within KPMG.
- Coaching and developing more junior team members on engagements.
- Contributing to practice management, e.g. knowledge sharing, training, proposition development, and knowledge management.

Qualifications, Experience and Background


We expect that you will have:
- Proven experience in a technology risk and control / audit environment within professional services or an internal audit / risk function.
- Excellent communication skills and report writing skills.
- Ability to develop excellent relationships both internally and with clients.
- Capacity to deliver work within tight timescales to a high quality.
- Undergraduate Degree, ideally, in technology, business, or related field.
It would also be useful (but not a deal-breaker) if you have:
- Experience of business analysis and core business processes, for example, transaction processing, system development ledger systems.
- Experience within the financial services and/or corporates sector(s) and knowledge of systems and processes used within them.
- Ability to identify and assess complex IT risks and controls, to relate them to the wider business environment and to express opinions clearly at all levels.
- A good understanding of technology platforms.
- Recognised accounting / auditing (e.g. ACA, CIMA, CISA) qualification, or working towards this qualification.

Additional Information


The role will be based at one of our regional offices (Bristol or Reading), but will include travel; candidates must have a willingness to travel frequently, both domestically and internationally on occasions, with the potential to be away from home for up to four days per week for set periods of time.
