You will be expected to originate opportunities through both internal and external relationships and take the lead on business development activities, including marketing, knowledge sharing and practice development.

You will be expected to originate opportunities through both internal and external relationships and take the lead on business development activities, including marketing, knowledge sharing and practice development.
In the area of Dispute Advisory, you will be expected to exemplify the following key skills:
- Ample experience of drafting high-quality written reports in the context of expert witness/expert determination, advisory appointments and other alternatives as appropriate.
- Ample experience of undertaking and reviewing supporting analysis underlying a claim, a dispute and a deliverable.
- Ample experience of reviewing and understanding a wide range complex concepts and documents as they pertain to the claim they are seeking to support.
Summary of Role Purpose:
As a Senior Manager within Dispute Advisory Services (“DAS”), you will take a lead role on a portfolio of engagements of varying size and complexity.
You will have a primary focus on Dispute Advisory Services, although you may also be involved in other types of engagement ranging from financial, fraud or misconduct investigations, through to proactive risk management and regulatory driven compliance work.
Description of the role:
- Leading a portfolio of Forensic DAS engagements, with a primary focus on Dispute Advisory, providing advice and support in connection with breach of contract, transaction, warranty and completion accounts, expert determinations, expropriations, product recall, and business disruption and other insurance claims
Leadership & Management:
- As a DAS Senior Manager you will be expected to lead engagement teams of varying size, which may include both onshore and offshore colleagues, contractors and/or colleagues from other member firms. You will be expected to oversee and train colleagues and take responsibility for the quality of work produced on engagements.
- As a DAS Senior Manager you will be expected to liaise directly with clients, client’s external counsel, senior members of the KPMG team and other third parties as required. You may be managing multiple senior level stakeholders across multiple projects at any one time.
- In Disputes work, you will be working with senior client staff who are often extremely invested in the outcome of our work (the quantum of the dispute may be highly material to the organisation) – managing expectations is critical to the client relationships.
- Senior Managers will typically have Engagement Manager responsibilities on large and complex engagements. They will be accountable to the Engagement Leaders on their engagements and responsible for the quality of work produced.
- In Disputes work, there is always a concrete, defined outcome from the dispute process, e.g. the determination of the disputed items in a post-M&A transaction dispute, often given with reasons. Therefore delivering high quality work (including appropriate management of client expectations about the outcome) is essential.
