The role
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 range of clients, varying from corporates to mid-market companies, and from private equity to family businesses. Assignments can be both deal-related and involve strategic issues outside of transactions.
Projects within the KPMG Strategy team vary from assessing growth opportunities and developing strategies to improving commercial and operational performance. In this regard, growth opportunities lie particularly within performance improvement: translating the formulation of concrete improvement initiatives and realizing results.
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 the driving force behind translating strategy into execution and realizing value for clients. You develop advice in the areas of strategy, value creation, and performance improvement. You lead multidisciplinary teams that identify opportunities to increase business value, take responsibility for multiple workstreams within complex trajectories, and guide clients through implementation. Additionally, you are the sparring partner for C-level stakeholders, with responsibility for stakeholder management and decision-making, and you build strong relationships with clients.
“I help clients to actually turn strategy into results by providing direction to teams and identifying and realizing improvement initiatives together with senior stakeholders. This way, we ensure that strategic plans are not just drawn up, but truly fulfilled.” – Martijn Helder, Manager Performance Improvement | KPMG Strategy
