What will you do?

Do you want to play a key role in the strategic transformation of Central Services and make a direct impact on the way the organization operates, innovates and delivers value?

Within Central Services, we are working on a future-proof, efficient and customer-oriented organization. AI-driven workflows, data-driven decision-making and execution power are central to this. From the Transformation Office, we manage a broad change agenda that extends to processes, technology, data and people.

As a Strategic Portfolio Manager, you act as the central director of the total change agenda within Central Services. You monitor the coherence between strategic initiatives, ongoing improvements and operational changes. You work at the heart of the transformation and ensure focus, coherence and progress within the total change portfolio. In doing so, you translate strategic ambitions into concrete, feasible initiatives.

  • The Strategic Portfolio Manager reports to the Head of Transformation Office
  • Je werkt nauw samen met het Leadership Team van Central Services, Business Owners, IT Strategy, Finance, Product Owners en Transformation Leads
  • The role operates at the intersection of strategy and execution and offers a lot of room for own initiative and direction

  • You are responsible for prioritizing the portfolio and helping the organization make sharp choices, including stopping, phasing or reprioritizing initiatives
  • You translate strategic priorities within Central Services into concrete, balanced portfolio roadmaps
  • You guarantee integral insight into progress, impact, dependencies, risks, capacity and budget
  • You will embed an AI-first mindset in the design, prioritization and execution of the portfolio
  • You will act as a strategic sparring partner for the Leadership Team and CSLT and provide independent, data-driven advice on sequencing, investments and change capability
  • You facilitate fixed governance moments, such as portfolio reviews and performance updates
  • You actively steer towards value creation and ensure that initiatives demonstrably contribute to efficiency, quality and employee and customer experience
  • You are responsible for the (further) development of reports and dashboards that enable transparency and effective management
  • You will lead the Business Analysis and Data & Reporting teams (approximately 7 FTE) and further develop these teams in analytics, data products and AI-driven solutions, with the aim of strengthening the change capability of Central Services
  • You monitor budget frameworks, identify deviations or risks in a timely manner and develop the annual project plan, including associated budget requests

This is what we offer

  • Gross salary between €5,800 and €9,500 per month depending on your work experience, variable performance based reward, a fixed expense allowance and a  fixed working from home allowance per working day.
  • Pension accrual without a compulsory personal contribution.
  • 30 vacation days (on a full-time basis) and the option to buy more days or sell your vacation days.
  • At KPMG we work hybrid, so you can work from home or at the office.
  • A completely furnished home office.
  • A lease car or a mobility budget.
  • A laptop and iPhones.
  • Choice to pick from different courses which contribute to your own personal and professional development.
  • Diversity networks in the areas of pride, gender, ability, cultural diversity, and generations that regularly organize various activities to celebrate differences!
  • Focus on well-being! There is a gym at the Amstelveen office or you can get a discount for a gym near your house and you get access to different health and/or vitality programs.
  • ‘Together’ is one of our core values. So you can count on different social activities, like team events, drinks with colleagues and events with all your KPMG colleagues.

Application procedure

Step 1. Your application

Have you applied? Then you will receive an invitation for the KPMG Talent Pitch immediately after your application. In the Talent Pitch, we not only get to know you, but you also get to know us better. We will also give you a tour of the world of KPMG. During the pitch, you will complete a personality questionnaire and take an aptitude test. 

Step 2. The first interview

After completing the KPMG Talent Pitch, we will invite you for a first interview with a recruiter. In some cases, a colleague from the relevant department will also be present at the interview. This interview is a mutual introduction, where you also get the chance to ask all the questions you probably have. 

Step 3. Follow-up interview

Did you have a positive conversation and are you still enthusiastic? If we also see a match, a second meeting will follow. In this second interview, we will delve deeper into the role and the substantive themes you will be dealing with. You may be asked to prepare a business case for the interview. Sometimes there is a final interview. 

Step 4. Offer

Is there a match? Then we will make you an offer and hopefully you will start at KPMG soon. The offer will not only include your salary but also all our employment conditions, such as your pension, vacation days, and more! Do you agree with our offer? Then we congratulate you as our new colleague and take the last step. 

Step 5. Screening

We want to be an integral and reliable organization in all respects, so we screen everyone who comes to work with us. DISA conducts this screening and checks references, among other things. Everything in order? The path to a great career at KPMG is open to you. You will then start with the onboarding program.
