Role Summary
The Velocity / Asset Enablement Lead is a Senior Manager-level role responsible for building the operating leverage mechanisms that allow KPMG T&I's revenue to grow faster than its headcount. This is achieved through the systematic codification, management, and deployment of reusable delivery assets, accelerators, and intellectual property. The role ensures that every KPMG T&I engagement benefits from the accumulated knowledge of previous engagements, reducing delivery effort per dollar of revenue and enabling consistent quality across markets. The Velocity Lead's contribution is measured through asset reuse rates, delivery efficiency gains, and the maturity of KPMG T&I's intellectual property portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
Asset Development and Library Management (50%)
- Design and manage KPMG T&I's asset library – a structured, searchable repository of reusable delivery assets including solution templates, architecture blueprints, proposal content, methodology playbooks, and client-facing tools.
- Work across all five capability blocks to identify, capture, and systematise reusable knowledge from active engagements – converting delivery experience into intellectual property.
- Establish the asset lifecycle process – including asset creation standards, quality review, version control, and retirement criteria.
- Measure and report asset reuse rates across the portfolio, tracking progress against the target of ≥40% asset reuse across deliveries.
- Prioritise asset development based on delivery frequency, complexity, and revenue contribution.
Delivery Velocity and Efficiency (35%)
- Drive adoption of assets and accelerators across delivery teams by providing training, deployment support, and usage coaching to Engagement Delivery Leads and consultants.
- Measure and track delivery efficiency metrics, specifically the reduction in delivery effort per dollar of revenue as asset reuse matures.
- Identify systemic inefficiencies in the delivery model (repeated bespoke effort, re-invention of existing methodologies) and develop asset-based solutions.
- Collaborate with the Tooling Lead to identify automation opportunities within the delivery workflow to reduce manual effort in governance, reporting, and client communication.
- Develop velocity metrics and reporting for the T&I leadership team to demonstrate financial return on investment.
IP Commercialisation and Knowledge Strategy (15%)
- Develop a roadmap for the commercialisation of intellectual property, identifying assets with standalone market value for licensing or productisation.
- Contribute to the thought leadership programme by curating insights from the asset library and enabling practitioners to publish market-facing content.
- Work with legal and risk teams to protect and document unique methodologies, frameworks, and tools as proprietary IP, establishing appropriate ownership and confidentiality protections.
Qualifications and Experience
- Relevant degree in Business, Technology, Knowledge Management, or a related field.
- Minimum 8 years of experience in technology consulting.
- At least 3 years in a knowledge management, enablement, or IP development role.
- Demonstrated experience building and managing asset libraries or intellectual property programmes in a professional services context.
- Familiarity with knowledge management platforms (Confluence, SharePoint, Notion) and content management best practices.
- Experience across at least two of KPMG T&I's core domains (cloud, cybersecurity, data & AI, enterprise platforms, PMO) to ensure cross-domain asset relevance.
- Strong analytical capability to measure and communicate the financial value of efficiency improvements.
