Job Summary

IPO services are often also a key factor in audit pitches with many pitches being presented jointly by TS and audit.

Delivering quality service and time management: Individuals will be required to monitor and deliver high quality service to clients (both internal and external).

Project management: Individuals will be responsible for assisting with the delivery of client facing projects, being a key point of contact for senior client contacts.
Team work: Individuals will be key team members on large complex assignments and will lead work streams on smaller and medium size engagements.
Developing people: Individuals will need to demonstrate the ability to give clear directions, as well as positive and constructive feedback. They will coach less experienced staff and actively assist in the development of others.
Building relationships and business development: Individuals will be required to build and sustain relationships with client management team members for the benefit of the Firm as well as acting as an ambassador and role model for the Firm. Individuals will assist in the preparation of proposal documents and coordinate with teams across KPMG (audit, tax, IT, etc.).
Technical expertise: Individuals will be required to develop a good understanding of the listing rules, prospectus rules, AIM rules etc and be able to apply them to varied capital markets transactions.
Advisory skills: Individuals will provide advice as a trusted adviser, using their skill, experience and understanding of transactions to the advantage of their client.
Risk management: Individuals will be required to identify and manage risks, ensuring the Firm's risk management frameworks are implemented appropriately and effectively.
The role will be based in the London office but may involve some travel. A high level of flexibility is required to meet the demands of working in a transaction based environment.
Required Skills and Qualifications
