Integration Advisory Team

KPMG's Integration Advisory Team works with both acquirers and vendors on pre- and post-deal Integration and Separation issues related to M&A or similar transactions.

We work closely alongside our colleagues within KPMG's Transaction Services who conduct financial, commercial and operational due diligence, providing an integrated and value-adding service to our clients to help make their transactions successful.

We work regularly on 'front page headline' deals for a client base comprising a wide range of publicly listed corporates, private companies, private equity houses and public sector organisations.

We have experienced significant growth over recent years and expect this to continue.  We are therefore looking for a range of talented and experienced individuals to join the team over the coming months. 

We are currently looking for Associate Director and Manager candidates to join the team.

Person Specification

The right individual will have a passion for working in the deal environment and will be comfortable with the ambiguity, pressure and unpredictability involved in integration and separation.

Hands-on experience in either or both of these fields is essential:  the ideal candidate will have managed a number of integration or separation programmes or significant elements of them.

Candidates will have worked previously as a consultant in a top consultancy, or have developed similar experience from a major corporate.

Candidates must be team players.  We pride ourselves on the way we work with and support each other.  Rewards are geared to team performance as much as individual performance.

One of the key strengths of KPMG is its culture, built through recruiting and developing people who have a deep felt respect for individuals, who operate professionally and ethically, and who are generally regarded by clients not only as highly effective, but as good people to work with.  Candidates will have strong interpersonal skills and share our values in this regard. Further desired attributes include demonstrable personal impact, flexibility, drive and commitment.

Candidates will be expected to have as a minimum the following consultancy skills:

• Financial awareness
• Programme management
• Facilitation
• Presentation (oral and written)
• Analysis and problem solving
• Process redesign/improvement techniques

They will be trained at least to degree level, ideally with additional qualification (MBA or other). Any languages in addition to English would be a bonus.

Finally, individuals should be comfortable working in the high pressured yet often ambiguous and flexible conditions that characterise transactions.
