You will be working in the KPMG Strategy team: a fast-growing team that supports organizations in both strategy formulation and its realization. You will work for a wide group of clients, ranging from corporates to mid-market companies, and from private equity to family businesses. Assignments can be both deal-related, as well as strategic issues outside of transactions.

Projects of the KPMG Strategy team vary from assessing growth opportunities and developing strategies to improving commercial and operational performance. Within this, growth opportunities lie particularly within performance improvement: translating the formulation of concrete improvement initiatives and realizing results.

The performance improvement projects have a direct impact on business operations, meaning you often work together with investment directors, senior management, and C-level executives. You bring speed, structure, and sharpness to complex trajectories and contribute to making strategic ambitions concrete and realizing them.

In this role, together with your team, you are a driver of translating strategy into execution and creating value for clients. You analyze business processes, identify opportunities, and translate these into concrete improvement initiatives with a direct impact on strategy, value creation, and performance improvement. Additionally, you are actively involved in the implementation and securing of solutions. You often have end-to-end leadership over your own workflow, including the associated client interactions, and direct junior colleagues where necessary. In this way, you make a visible impact on the success of transformations and improvement trajectories and see the result of your work reflected in the performance of organizations.

“I work daily at the intersection of strategy and execution. By translating strategy into concrete initiatives and actually implementing them, I help clients not only to identify improvements but also to realize them sustainably.” – Idsert Holtrop, Associate Performance Improvement | KPMG Strategy
