• Represent the team in internal account planning, alliance discussions, market development activities, and client-facing thought leadership. 

• 12+ years of experience in digital transformation, software delivery, application modernization, technology consulting, solution architecture, or related fields. 

• Strong technical foundation across project delivery, cloud platforms, architecture, DevOps, APIs, integration, data, security, and production operations. 

• Knowledge of ecommerce, content management (CMS), customer data platforms (CDPs) and / or marketing platforms (‘Martech’) would be an asset. 

• An appreciation of User Experience (UX) design, as well as the role of qualitative and quantitaive research as a contributor to digital delivery would be an asset. 

• Experience selling, shaping, and originating technology consulting work, including proposals, estimates, statements of work, and executive presentations. 

• Experience leading multidisciplinary delivery teams and managing senior client stakeholders. 

• Practical understanding of AI-assisted software delivery, Gen AI tooling, responsible AI adoption, prompt patterns, engineering automation, and AI-accelerated SDLC practices. 

• Highly polished and practiced presentation skills, with the ability to represent KPMG to senior stakeholders with credibility and grace. 

• Ability to explain complex technical topics in clear business language and connect delivery choices to client outcomes. 

• Strong commercial judgment, relationship-building skills, and ability to identify follow-on opportunities. 

• Experience with Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, GitHub, Azure DevOps, modern application frameworks, or enterprise delivery platforms is an asset.
