Our recruitment process

Get to know the team better
The world of global advisory, audit and tax compliance services for large multi-nationals is rapidly changing and heavily dependent on technology. The KPMG Delivery Network (KDN) is a KPMG special purpose member firm offering a way for clients to leverage KPMG top talent and technology platforms through regional teams of specialists, enabling economies of scale and a new way of working that expands beyond local capability.
KDN Tax & Legal’s solutions (e.g. Indirect Tax Compliance, Global Mobility Services, Legal Managed Services, Transfer Pricing, etc.) each operate like a standalone business within the KDN member firm. The KDN Global Solution Owner acts like a “mini-CEO” of the respective KDN Solution. In that capacity, a KDN Global Solution Owner is the Head of that Solution (Service Line) within KDN, accountable for the overall business performance of the solution, including quality, client centricity, technology and process innovation, and its P&L.
