Job description
How we make the difference in Customer and Operations

Customer and Operations is all about connecting - making sure entire enterprises are working together in a way that is more customer-centric, digital and at a lower cost. In a world where AI can tip the balance between human and machine, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, getting clients to find that balance and thrive.

From day one of the graduate scheme, you'll provide organisations with fact-based, actionable insights, helping them see what's coming next; identifying threats, innovations and opportunities that always put people at the heart, all while ensuring efficiency and high performance.

You could be operationalising artificial intelligence to automate systems, designing facilities for patient-focused healthcare, or working with governments to put citizens at the heart of their services, to name just a few of the projects we work on.

How you'll grow with us

In Customer and Operations, you'll work with some of the largest, most well-known organisations in the world, joining a sub-sector-specific team within our Corporate, Public Sector or Financial Services client base. Clients include the UK government, UK banks, the NHS, global coffee chains, transport networks and consumer goods organisations.

On the graduate scheme, you'll work towards the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) professional qualification, with the support of our learning community.

The teams you could work in

Over the three years, you can gain experience across a range of our teams and find your niche.

Some of these teams include Financial Services, providing solutions to clients across Banking, Insurance, Asset Management and Private Equity; Corporates, leveraging technology, analytics and service delivery options to advance businesses; or Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare, helping to reimagine new ways to make national services better. Another could be KPMG's Infrastructure and Government Strategic Advisory Services (SAS) team who are a group of talented individuals with a passion for built infrastructure. This team supports government and infrastructure clients with their most complex strategic challenges.

So, if you want to join a welcoming team, make effective changes to organisations around the UK, and work with exciting new technology, apply to Customer and Operations Consulting at KPMG.
