About the role
KPMG International helps set strategy, protect the reputation of the global organisation and support independent member firms that provide Audit, Tax and Advisory services. Its global teams set standards, develop best practices and deliver technology-enabled solutions that support the wider network.
The Global Security Operations Centre Engineering Lead sits within Information Security Services, part of the Global Information Security Group in Global Digital. The team protects KPMG and its clients from cyber threats through continuous monitoring, detection, investigation and response, working closely with security, technology and business teams across the global organisation.
You will be accountable for the engineering platforms, integrations, automation and AI-enabled capabilities behind this service. Within the strategic direction set by leadership, you will translate priorities into a practical roadmap, develop business cases and investment recommendations, and deliver secure, scalable and cost-effective services. You will also lead a globally distributed team, manage the engineering budget and supplier performance, and promote a DevOps-first approach in which content and infrastructure are version-controlled, reviewed, tested and deployed consistently.
