Job description

The Strategy Group is a dynamic and fast-growing team, where you will work through complex and challenging issues facing clients today. You’ll have the opportunity to work with people at all levels including senior management, offering strategic advice on business and operating models to our corporate, public sector and private equity clients. We offer advice in both an organic growth and transaction-related setting. It is an exciting time to join this team as we drive momentum and enhance our presence in our priority sectors.

Our Strategy Graduate Programme is designed to give you a broad and varied experience from both a sector and proposition perspective, and arm you with consulting skills to help accelerate your career. You will build your commercial understanding and business acumen to deliver real value to our clients straight away.

  • Business Strategy: Helping Executives to develop and operationalise strategy to meet their financial ambitions and create sustainable competitive advantage.
  • Operating Strategy: Advising clients on a range of strategic operational issues from efficiency improvement identification through to operating model strategy design.
  • Deal Strategy: Advising clients on strategic investment decisions in a range of transaction settings (buy-side, sell-side, refinancing, bid / contract tenders).

Like our clients we're having to adapt. This means new working patterns, physical adjustments in our offices and new ways of interacting with our colleagues as well as the organisations we work with - we are harnessing technology to help underpin this change.

You'll study for the CIMA qualification, as well as benefit from a broad Learning & Development programme incorporating on-the-job coaching, classroom-based training and self-directed learning (e.g. WebEx, podcasts etc.), which will help to equip you with the appropriate blend of technical and soft skills to accelerate your career.

On the Strategy Graduate Programme, you'll follow a full CIMA study path completing the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting, then the CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting. Beyond this you will pursue the full CIMA qualification or gain other relevant qualifications as you progress your career.

The vast majority of KPMG’s staff undertaking a professional qualification were able to continue with their studies and examinations following the COVID-19 pandemic, including those studying the CIMA certificate. We expect studies to be back to our usual mix of classroom and remote learning for our 2021 intake, and exams to be scheduled normally.
