As a Managed Services Apprentice you’ll work with clients who outsource parts of their business to KPMG, offering specialist support when they need it most. Managed Service projects are often mobilised quickly and can range in size and scope – you could be part of a team of 10 to 650 colleagues working on a project at any one time - it is both exciting and challenging work.
This is a two-year apprenticeship designed to give you hands-on experience while building a strong foundation of transferable professional skills. You’ll complete rotational placements lasting between three and six months, allowing you to work across different functions. We operate a hybrid working model, balancing flexibility with the importance of learning and collaborating face to face.
Day-to-day you could be involved in anything from analysing data, supporting strategic planning, developing new recruitment processes, assessing the impact of transformational change or supporting the development of new products and propositions.
To excel in the role, you’ll need excellent communication, problem-solving and organisational skills. You’ll learn how to work effectively in a fast-changing environment, build resilience and manage competing priorities – all while being supported by colleagues who want to help you succeed.
Alongside your role, you’ll study towards the Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship. A recognised qualification covering core areas such as project management, business regulation and personal development.
By the end of your apprenticeship you’ll have developed sought-after business skills, practical experience across multiple functions and the confidence to take on greater responsibility. You’ll be well placed to continue your journey as a specialist in an area that suits your interests and strengths, continuing to build your career within Managed Services or the wider firm.
