Job description

KPMG Assistant Company Secretary (C grade )

Location: This is primarily a remote working position, some attendance at KPMG’s London office will be required. Competitive compensation.

Contract: Permanent

Introduction

Large multi-national corporations (“MNCs”) are demanding seamless cross-border delivery of professionally managed services. To satisfy this market need, KPMG has created the KDN group of companies (“KDN”) to manage KPMG’s global delivery service model.

MNCs have consolidated their delivery operations into a handful of in-house global/regional locations which are used to support their hundreds of specialty service units worldwide. As tax, advisory and audit services become increasingly dependent on technology, MNCs will need to significantly increase their investments or outsource these activities to global providers with the expertise and scale to make the necessary technology investments and implement an efficient and centralized but nimble delivery model.

KPMG Delivery Network

KDN works closely with KPMG member firms to translate client requirements into a clear global delivery strategy that offers KPMG’s solutions globally. As part of this strategy, KDN has created and continues to grow its interoperable and seamlessly integrated network of global delivery centres which provide KPMG’s clients with quality and consistent professional services.
