Broadly across our team, we help our clients protect, detect and respond to high end cyber threats; helping them understand the cyber threat landscape, make sensible decisions on investment priorities, and build the specialist capabilities they need to counter cyber-crime.
We believe that cyber security is about helping our clients to harness business opportunities safely and securely. For us, cyber security isn't just a technical issue, it is one which engages the whole business and focusses on a holistic approach to understanding and mitigating the risk.

Our Cyber Risk Modelling and Quantification team sits within our rapidly growing Cyber practice. The team works closely with KPMG's broader advisory practice, including the data modelling and software engineering teams. The team also works closely with KPMG member firms across the globe to ensure we collaborate and bring the most differentiated and innovative modelling and quantification solutions to our clients.
We are keen to recruit a talented Manager level candidate who has the energy and drive to help further develop the modelling and quantification solutions we take to our clients.
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.
We believe we are market leaders in promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace and want to encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures.
