The Team
Our Transaction Services practice comprises approximately 400 people across the UK, organised to align to KPMG’s market orientated structure, and is at the heart of the Firm's agenda to increase its penetration of boardrooms and work with clients across the economic and transaction cycle.

We have an immediate need for a Manager (C grade) within our TS Healthcare & Life Sciences team, based in our Canada Square office, to support the growth of our business in this sector.

This role will work predominately within the Healthcare/LS sector, however individuals are also expected to be flexible and to work across our National Markets practice from time to time according to the needs of the business.

- Team work: individuals will be key team members on large complex assignments and will lead work streams on smaller and medium size engagements.
- Building relationships – individuals will be required to build and sustain relationships with client management team members for the benefit of the Firm as well as acting as an ambassador and role model for the Firm.
