Job description

Role Purpose

Capital projects consistently underperform in terms of budget, schedule, and value. Stakeholders often lack confidence over the performance of their projects and programmes, and the transition to business-as-usual operation often fails to take advantage of the data and insight generated during the project implementation phase. Data can enable and drive improvement as it has in many facets of our lives, with automation, digitalisation and AI now becoming the norm.

It has quickly become a cheap commodity, easily created, and accessed. However, capturing good quality, meaningful data to drive a completive edge, enable intelligence-led decision-making, helping to track and improve performance is today's challenge for many organisations. How do stakeholders obtain insights when served with an overwhelming volume of disorganised, poorly considered, badly constructed data?

Our Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team specialises in providing clarity to Boards, Executives and SRO's and senior leaders across major public and private sector organisations, on the delivery of their complex projects and programmes. We work on some of the UK's most strategically important programmes, and across all sectors including Utilities, Power, Energy, Transport, Natural Resources, Oil & Gas, Defence, Health and Education.

MPA comprises a multidisciplinary, diverse, outcome-focused team of 100+ industry experts who are driven by purposeful work to achieve positive change for our local communities and make a lasting global difference. We enable greater transparency, efficiency, predictability and confidence, whilst helping navigate uncertainty.

We are a market leader in partnering with clients to maximise value through significant capital investments and complex transformations, working across projects, programmes and portfolios. As trusted advisors, we support our clients across a broad range of areas in project and programme management, portfolio management, commercial and procurement, construction, ESG and technology.

We are strengthening our digital, data and insights capability to grow our client service offering.

This role is for an ambitious, innovative, and professional Associate Director, who can work alongside our existing team to enhance the way we deliver services to our clients using data, intelligent insights from analytics and visualisation to improve project delivery confidence.

Within your career you will have attained an exquisite balance of understanding data and data system architecture with a flexible, creative approach in its application to create value for your clients. You will be able to breakdown and translate complex problems into smaller components that are easily described throughout the client's organisation. This will require a passionate and highly motivated individual who enjoys problem solving and learning in general.

You will join the MPA business at an exciting period of significant growth and will be a significant contributor to how it is shaped. You will interface with our leadership team, client organisations and other KPMG teams to develop our offerings and value propositions.

Description of Role

Take a lead in developing our data and insights value propositions, to improve project delivery confidence through intelligence data led insights, analytics and visualisation.
