KDN for Audit is a critical component of delivering the Global ESG Assurance strategy, and is fundamental to ensuring member firms can scale their assurance practices’ in a rapidly changing market.

Our vision is that the KDN ESG Assurance team will support every ESG Assurance engagement across the global network with access to market leading expertise and highly standardised services so they can deliver consistently high quality. The CSRD in the EU is expected to create a multi-billion dollar opportunity for KPMG in ESG assurance, but in order to meet demand, we will need a significant amount of capacity and subject matter experience. KDN will be the only way member firms can meet the scale of this challenge, and is a truly transformative opportunity for the firm.

We are looking for an enthusiastic manager to bring their experience in ESG Assurance to pioneer this exciting new initiative and to design and build the ESG assurance solution as part of the KDN Solutions team. The design work in this role will become the blueprint for the future, and is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to see their work come to life and make an impact. Once the capability launches, this role will also open up opportunities for the successful candidate to lead the delivery of this new team, delivering on assurance engagements for firms and clients across the world.

This role would suit someone who is passionate about ESG, can work comfortably with uncertainty in a start-up environment and has excellent problem solving skills.

Everyone brings a unique perspective. We want to harness diverse thinking by bringing bright minds together and valuing the differences that lead to stronger insights and innovation. At KDN, we recognise that we need Inclusion, Diversity and Equality to be successful. We want to attract, retain and develop diverse talent at all levels. This means recruiting from the widest possible pool of talent, removing barriers that can prevent our people from reaching their full potential, and fostering a fully inclusive environment which maximises collaboration and empowers everyone at KPMG to bring their whole selves to work. We encourage authenticity, honor individual priorities, and respect your choices.
