Delivery Manager – Digital Business Services

About the Team

Digital Business Services (DBS) sits within KPMG’s broader Technology Consulting practice, a group recognised for delivering business-led, digitally enabled transformation through advanced digital, data, AI, engineering, and cloud capabilities. Our teams work across complex environments to design, build, and implement technology solutions that help organisations achieve strategic outcomes.

This role will suit someone who thrives in complex environments, enjoys enabling teams, and brings a steady, structured approach to delivery leadership.
