Why choose Business and Consulting areas as a vacationer?
Imagine a problem an organisation might have: The customers aren’t happy. A reputation is damaged. A new policy hasn’t met its objectives. The HR department hasn’t kept up with rapid business expansion. There are so many challenges in the everyday and in planning for the future – as a consultant, you’ll help solve problems like these within a cross-functional team who can truly assess a problem and then develop and deliver solutions that meet the client’s long-term goals. Taking this opportunity won’t just build your skills in the specialisation you choose, you’ll learn about a variety of fields and industries.
Choose your pathway
Everyone’s career is different, and we support unique growth and pathways. With a range of disciplines and specialities, you can start in one place and go almost anywhere as you build your career here.
Apply to this Business, Consulting and Risk pathway and you’ll have the option to select the stream of work you’re interested in. Not sure or open to something new? No preference means we’ll match you where your degree and interests fit.
Location of this job: nominate your KPMG office location during the application process.
What is being a consultant?
You’ll be part of a team of experienced and early-career professionals who work on solving problems. The client (they could be an international company, a local charity, a small business) brings us a challenge and we create a team and a plan to help solve it. That team will be made up of colleagues from several disciplines and backgrounds so we bring the best ideas to the table – there might be finance experts working alongside software developers and change and communications professionals.
The work depends on the client and the problem you’re helping them solve. You might be researching and gathering information, like how have we helped another client with a similar challenge and how new technologies could help, meeting with clients to understand their business, updating project plans, as well as the delivery of the solution your client selects.
