As a Senior Manager with a technical cyber background, you will take an important role in helping to shape our client's consulting team; considering the skills they need, how they access additional capacity and where they need our people to be.

You will also be a Performance Manager for up to five of their people supporting them in their own career journeys.

Leading on delivery - their Senior Managers will typically oversee a handful of engagements at any one time.

On each you will have a team reporting to you and a Partner or Director you are supporting who has overall accountability for the work.

You will bring your technical knowledge and consulting skills in to this work, sometimes at the core of delivery and in others overseeing / checking the quality of their work.

Building the pipeline - demand has never been higher for our support.

Their work is won competitively and so you will be taking a role leading on that proposal (with access to a library of previous examples), often we are asked to go straight to contract with real urgency.

You will be central to this process, working with Partners and Directors, sat on calls and in meetings with them and then working together to get the right response at the right time to their clients - often this will be working alongside other capabilities within KPMG to ensure we bring the best of the firm to their clients.
