Job description:

The Infrastructure and Government Strategic Advisory Services (SAS) team works with government and industry on the biggest, most complex and pressing strategic, policy and programme implementation issues.
As part of a fast paced and dynamic group, practitioners will have the opportunity to advise on strategic options, business cases and operating models to public sector, agency and corporate clients.
Typically the advice we provide can be categorised as:
Market Assessment (e.g. market, policy or technology trends, market capability and capacity)
Business Strategy (e.g. vision, objectives, strategic options, financial sustainability)
Operating Strategy (e.g. operating model design, governance and structures, incentives)
Market Making (e.g. complex business cases, market engagement, procurement strategy)

Within SAS is the Future Mobility team, which this role sits within.

We define Future Mobility as the de-carbonisation, digitalisation, and disruption of transport through zero emission and low carbon drivetrains, intelligent transport systems, and market reform.

The resultant 'perfect storm' is impacting automotive, supply chain, energy, technology, infrastructure, funds, transport operators, local and regional authorities and Government.

Things are changing faster than expected driven by rapid developments in technology, regulation, competition and consumer behaviour.

Over the next 5 to 12 years the organisations that we work with will require significant advisory support:
multi £m transformations, multi £m deals, customer and industry 4.0 advice, strategic roadmap development and portfolio delivery.

KPMG is working at the forefront of this change, advising organisations across the value chain, from government to component suppliers, helping deliver significant benefits for transport systems and society.

It is an exciting time to join our team as we continue to grow in response to market demand, and work on some of the industry's most complex mandates including bus and rail market reform, zero emission logistics, whole life carbon reduction, Mobility as a Service and the world's largest ticketing & fare collection schemes, and tackling transport accessibility.
