KPMG is one of the most trusted and respected global professional services firms. Through depth of expertise, clarity of insight and strength of purpose we help our clients solve complex problems, steer change, strengthen, transition and grow. We are looking for talented people who share our purpose of inspiring confidence and empowering change for our clients, our people and our communities.
The consulting environment at KPMG is dynamic and fast-paced, offering diverse opportunities to work on challenging projects with leading organisations across various industries. As a consultant at KPMG, you will be part of a collaborative team that provides strategic insights and innovative solutions to help clients address complex business issues and drive growth. You will work with experienced professionals who are committed to delivering high-quality services and fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development.
Alongside this, we expect our people to engage in ongoing learning and responsible practice in relation to the cultural history, societal interests, and identity of Aotearoa New Zealand, and to reflect that learning in their behaviour, advice, and outcomes.
The Opportunity:
- This Manager role is part of our Risk Consulting team and is responsible to the Partner, or delegate, for managing and delivering high-quality work on engagements to meet client’s needs.
- The focus will primarily on managing the delivery of a portfolio of internal audit services to clients, while also demonstrating flexibility in working on other consulting projects as required.
- The client portfolio is largely Christchurch based, with some, occasional, travel required to other South Island locations.
Day To Day You Will:
- Manage overall work requirements of an engagement
- Develop an understanding of clients’ businesses (e.g. issues they face, markets they operate in, key developments)
- Produce clear and well-presented documents and reports that will be delivered to clients as part of our work
- Develop well-reasoned solutions that recognise the constraints of client’s internal and external environments
- This is a client facing role and you will be expected to meet clients and work collaboratively with them to deliver our services
- You'll also help manage a portfolio of tasks concurrently and work well under pressure to tight deadlines
- Supervise and coach and junior members of the team
What You'll Bring To Our Team:
- At least 6+ years of relevant practical consulting or experience in a risk associated role, with a strong understanding of governance, risk and controls. Experience in the Big 4 is advantageous but not essential.
- A relevant professional qualification
- Have an ability to think strategically
- Be comfortable with ambiguity and have the confidence to solve problems and to fill gaps in knowledge by questioning, collaborating with others and researching technical and contractual documentation
- Have a logical approach to planning and performing analysis tasks
- Demonstrate excellent attention to detail and focus on delivering high-quality work
- Be a highly motivated team player with strong communication skills including exceptional report writing
- Experience in proving independent quality assurance (IQA) on transformation projects would be advantageous. In addition, knowledge of complex ERP solutions or commonly used financial management systems would help set you apart from other applications. Equally an internal audit specialism in another functional or technical discipline would also be favoured.
