Job Description:
The Deal Execution team is part of KPMG’s rapidly expanding Strategy Group, which delivers value for clients by challenging conventional thinking, bringing deep industry and functional insights, and executing with investor-grade rigour. We are a diverse team of over 105 practitioners, working collaboratively with and orchestrating KPMG’s broad set of capabilities within our Advisory business. Our focus is on enhancing value for clients across the deal and economic cycle, helping them from conceptual thinking of buying a business to turning their business around during difficulties.
The People in M&A Centre of Excellence handles all aspects of the employee journey in M&A and leverages experience to enact transformational change outside of deals. From early-stage strategy development and organisational design for carve-outs to synergy cases, employee experience, corporate culture, employee transfer, and management of transformational solutions, we aim to help organisations achieve their objectives while maximising value and ensuring smooth transitions.
The Manager role is central to the team, leading project delivery and working alongside global organisational leaders. While we work across various sectors, there is an opportunity to specialise in a specific area.
Our four key client proposition areas are:
• Employee experience: Executing engagement programs that address the impact on employees, ensuring they would join the company independently of the deal.
• Organisational strategy development: Developing organisation design, people strategy, operating models, synergies, and value enhancements for carve-outs or standalone operations.
• Labour relations and compliance: Managing labour and HR risks and obligations globally to meet deal timelines and integration changes.
• HR operations: Delivering HR services efficiently during and after deals, providing high service levels to employees.
Role Overview
In this role, you will work on and lead projects, collaborating closely with senior team members who will guide and enhance your deal knowledge and skills in people, OD, strategy, and HR. You will also apply your change and consulting skills to deliver transformational change outside of deals.
Your responsibilities include:
1. Leading small-to-medium-sized engagements and supporting clients daily.
2. Contributing to and reviewing deal and transaction reports from a people perspective, analyzing data, and providing insights on people-related issues such as costs, legal considerations (e.g., TUPE, unions), systems, and contracts.
3. Advising on people, strategy, and organisational design aspects of integration, separation, and optimisation initiatives, including developing target operating models and transition plans.
4. Supporting transformational change projects, creating roadmaps, designing change management plans, and identifying risks.
5. Interacting with stakeholders, coaching junior team members, and supporting business development activities.
The Person
Work Experience:
* Understanding of HR, OD, or Strategy, preferably in M&A contexts.
* Experience in M&A projects and consultation is beneficial.
* Expertise in areas like people strategy, TUPE, HR functions, employee engagement, or organisational design.
* Leadership in client meetings, workshops, and team management.
* Strong understanding of HR value drivers and ability to influence senior stakeholders.
Professional, Technical & Soft Skills:
* Bachelor's degree; professional qualifications are a plus.
* Excellent communication skills, ability to work under pressure, and problem-solving capabilities.
* Structured thinking, creativity, and strategic insight.
* Knowledge of market drivers and client priorities.
