Transaction Services - Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT) - Associate Director in Birmingham

Our Transaction Services practice comprises approximately 500 people across the UK, organised to align to KPMG’s market orientated structure, and is at the heart of the Firm's agenda to increase its penetration of boardrooms and work with clients across the economic and transaction cycle.

Our team works closely with colleagues across Deal Advisory as well as Tax, Audit and other Advisory teams; it is a multi-disciplinary and international environment that sits right at the heart of our One Firm agenda.

We are recruiting Associate Directors in the TMT team. We understand that flexible working means something different to each of us, so we are happy to discuss options that suit your needs.

Associate Director appointments are made on the basis of demonstrated track record. As engagement managers, Associate Directors are expected to play a key role in the development of all aspects of the practice:

• Engagement management: individuals will be required to structure and lead multiple large, complex workstreams in ambiguous and rapidly changing environments.
• Business development: individuals will be required to build, commercialise and sustain relationships with management team members for the benefit of the Firm. Individuals will be required to develop propositions, focussing on specific themes and/or clients.
• Risk management: individuals will be required to identify and manage risks, ensuring the Firm's risk management frameworks are implemented appropriately and effectively.
• Developing People: individuals will need to identify team member development needs and accelerate development by establishing the appropriate plans and frameworks with particular emphasis on coaching and skills transfer. They will act as a role model with colleagues and clients by living the values of the Firm.
• Delivering quality services: Individuals will be required to monitor and deliver high quality service to clients (both internal and external). Individuals will be proficient at managing multiple priorities.
• Advisory Skills: individuals will use their extensive skills and experience to provide advice as a trusted adviser.

• Strong personal impact and self-awareness.
• Excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills.
• Strong analytical skills including the ability to interpret data, generate insights and construct solutions.
