Job Title: Velocity / Asset Enablement Lead - Africa

Location: Lagos
Job type: Full time
Career level: Senior Manager

Position 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 - specifically through the systematic codification, management, and deployment of reusable delivery assets, accelerators, and intellectual property.
• This 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 Roles and 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 - focusing effort on the highest-impact accelerators.

Delivery Velocity and Efficiency (35%):

• Drive adoption of assets and accelerators across delivery teams - providing training, deployment support, and usage coaching to Engagement Delivery Leads and consultants.
• Measure and track delivery efficiency metrics - specifically tracking the reduction in delivery effort per dollar of revenue as asset reuse matures.
• Identify systemic inefficiencies in KPMG T&I's delivery model (repeated bespoke effort, re-invention of existing methodologies) and develop asset-based solutions.
• Collaborate with Block E Tooling Lead to identify automation opportunities within the delivery workflow - reducing manual effort in governance, reporting, and client communication.
• Develop velocity metrics and reporting for the T&I leadership team - demonstrating the financial return on the asset and enablement investment.

IP Commercialisation and Knowledge Strategy (15%):

• Develop a roadmap for the commercialisation of KPMG T&I's intellectual property - identifying assets with standalone market value that could be licensed or productised.
• Contribute to KPMG's thought leadership programme by curating insights from the asset library and enabling practitioners to publish market-facing content.
• Explore opportunities to protect and document KPMG T&I's unique methodologies, frameworks, and tools as proprietary IP - working with KPMG's legal and risk teams to establish appropriate ownership and confidentiality protections.
• Benchmark KPMG T&I's asset maturity against Tier-1 consulting firms and develop improvement plans to close gaps.

Requirements
Academic/ Professional qualifications and Experience:

• Relevant Degree in Business, Technology, Knowledge Management, or a related field.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in technology consulting, with at least 3 years in a knowledge management, enablement, or IP development role.

• 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 - able to measure and communicate the financial value of asset reuse and delivery efficiency improvements.

Technical competencies & Personal attributes:
Demonstrate and articulate KPMG values as well as proven capability in:

• Knowledge management discipline: systematic thinker who can create order and structure from unstructured delivery experience.
• Influence without authority: able to motivate senior delivery professionals to contribute to and use the asset library - even when they are under delivery pressure.
• Analytical mindset: measures the impact of enablement investments and communicates the financial return clearly.
• Cross-domain curiosity: interested in and knowledgeable about all five of KPMG T&I's capability blocks - not siloed in a single domain.
• IP instinct: naturally identifies when KPMG is re-inventing something that should be systematised.
• Execution focus: combines strategic vision for the asset programme with the discipline to actually build and maintain the library.
• Market Intelligence: Demonstrate commercial awareness with sound knowledge of matters affecting the market.
