Job Description
Workforce Analytics and AI - Senior Manager – Workforce Augmentation
About the Role:
We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, a revolution driven by the benefits of generative AI. Our recent CEO outlook survey identified the use of AI as a priority for over 75% of CEOs. Yet research by the University of Cambridge and Productivity Institute found that 58% of UK businesses surveyed have not yet deployed AI in their organisation.
KPMG have developed a methodology and series of products to help organisations on their AI journey, helping them ensure compliance with all applicable legislation and regulations as well as guiding them on where to start and how to manage the change. We are seeking a passionate and experienced

This product will be instrumental in supporting organisations and their employees on their AI journey, empowering them to leverage the power of AI for enhanced productivity, efficiency, and innovation.
You will work alongside several KPMG Partners and staff from across the market to help sell and deliver work to our clients using this product and methodology as well as helping build the team to ensure we can serve client demand. We already have a sizeable pipeline of clients across financial services, corporates, the mid-market and our infrastructure, government and health sectors seeking our help.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to help develop the go to market strategy, build and develop a team and support our clients in a field where demand is already high and expected to grow significantly. In FY25 we anticipate UK revenues from our work related to the adoption of AI to exceed £20m with over a third of this coming from our workforce solutions. Looking forward we anticipate this to grow rapidly over the next three years and beyond.
