KPMG Job Specification - Network Analytics Engineer

KPMG offers a broad range of advanced analytics services across a wide range of clients. The newly formed Analytics & AI team within Management Consulting will focus on delivering specialised advanced analytical solutions. This requires a migration from out-of-the-box solutions and a move towards customizing solutions to solve each client’s specific problems. To achieve this, we have partnered with industry disrupting, cutting edge companies to build hybrid delivery teams; delivering open source and intelligent-driven offerings.  By partnering with these agile and fast developing companies, the team develops the most in-demand skills and keeps pace with the ever-changing analytics landscape. 

A new specialised Network Analytics capability is being built within the Analytics & AI team, offering an opportunity to be the foundation of a new team and grow the capability as a core member. Network analytics is the way to connect and visualise data. Charts and tables fail to show the full picture of the reality of the world we live in; unable to capture the relationships that exist between people and entities. Network analytics reveals these previously hidden connections and, in combination with machine learning can be applied to multiple use cases such as identifying money laundering, new sales opportunities and terrorist financing.
