The Team

KPMG Deals Advisory Strategy Group is looking to attract professional, talented individuals who have a passion for identifying and creating innovative solutions for clients. This team is looking for an exceptional Analyst to join the team.

The Strategy Group (TSG) supports clients on their most complex challenges, creating and driving value right across the deal lifecycle.

The business comprises three operational groups: Deal Execution, and Strategy and Performance Transformation, Climate Risk and Strategy and Centres of Excellences.

Our Vision is to be the most relevant strategic advisors, working with CEOs and top management teams globally, to shape thinking and solve the most critical strategic issues by bringing together the full breadth of the firm’s capabilities.

As a team, we are a group of bright committed individuals who are passionate about delivering fantastic client work, developing the team around us, and having fun both inside and outside of work. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where all colleagues thrive and reach their full potential, whatever their identity or background. This is fundamental to our success as a business.

Working Environment

Everybody has their own unique circumstances. We’ll try hard to accommodate yours, creating a schedule that works for you. That’s true for any employee, at any grade, in any part of KPMG in the UK.

It’s called Intelligent Working. That means considering any working schedule that’s outside the traditional working pattern, focusing on outcomes rather than time spent at work. The aim is to achieve the right balance for everyone, enabling us to help our people build their careers without sacrificing their personal priorities. It’s all about focusing on outcomes and trusting our people to do the right thing for themselves and our firm.
