Senior Consultant - Financial Services-Insurance & Wealth & Asset Management

Overview

At KPMG in Canada, our people bring their unique perspectives to Canada’s most important challenges. Here, you can build momentum that reaches beyond our business, develop skills for the future, and take ownership of your career with support at every stage. Join a firm where your career can make a difference.

KPMG’s Management Consulting practice is growing its Strategy & Operations team focused on insurance and wealth management. We are looking for  Senior Consultants who want to help leading financial services organizations solve complex business problems, transform how they operate, and build the capabilities required for an AI-enabled future.

We help leading insurance and wealth management organizations transform their businesses and operating models for an AI-enabled future. That means helping clients rethink how they grow, serve customers and advisors, manage operations, make decisions, and deliver value — using strategy, process improvement, data, technology, and AI as practical levers for change.

This is an opportunity to join a growing practice and build your career alongside it. You will work with insurers, wealth managers, distributors, advisors, and financial services platforms on high-impact transformation initiatives, while also helping shape the ideas, offerings, and capabilities that define how KPMG supports the market.

What you will do

As part of our Strategy & Operations team, you will help clients address some of their most important business priorities, including growth strategy, operating model transformation, distribution and advice effectiveness, operational improvement, customer and advisor experience, cost optimization, business architecture, AI use case development, and transformation delivery.

You will work in multidisciplinary teams to:

• Analyze complex business problems and translate insights into practical recommendations.
• Support or lead client workstreams across strategy, operations, transformation, and implementation.
• Conduct market research, stakeholder interviews, process analysis, data analysis, and business case development.
• Design future-state operating models, capabilities, processes, governance structures, and implementation roadmaps.
• Identify opportunities to use AI, automation, data, and technology to improve business performance.
• Develop executive-ready presentations, client deliverables, proposals, and thought leadership.
• Contribute to the growth of KPMG’s insurance and wealth management consulting practice through new ideas, reusable assets, and market perspectives.

At the Senior Consultant level, you will lead workstreams, manage client interactions, own deliverables, coach junior team members, contribute to proposals, and help shape solutions for clients.

What you bring to the role

We are looking for intellectually curious, commercially minded, and collaborative problem solvers who are excited by the opportunity to build — both for clients and within a growing KPMG practice.

You bring:

• Experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, business transformation, operations, financial services, insurance, wealth management, technology enablement, analytics, or a related field.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field required; advanced degree and/or relevant certifications are considered an asset.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills, with the ability to work through ambiguity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive-ready storytelling.
• Interest in insurance, wealth management, distribution, advice, asset management, or broader financial services.
• Experience supporting or delivering strategy, operating model, process improvement, business case, transformation, or implementation work.
• Comfort working with data, digital tools, and AI-enabled ways of working.
• A practical builder mindset: curious, proactive, hands-on, and willing to experiment with new tools and approaches.

AI experience and builder mindset

We are especially interested in candidates who are excited about the role of AI in transforming financial services. You do not need to be a data scientist, but you should be curious, practical, and motivated to turn emerging technology into measurable business value.

Relevant experience may include:

• Using generative AI tools to improve research, analysis, synthesis, workflow automation, or deliverable creation.
• Identifying, evaluating, or supporting AI use cases in operations, distribution, customer experience, risk, compliance, underwriting, claims, advice, servicing, or enterprise transformation.
• Building prompts, prototypes, automations, dashboards, reusable tools, or workflow improvements.
• Translating AI opportunities into business cases, operating model changes, process redesign, governance requirements, adoption plans, or implementation roadmaps.
• Working with tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, SQL, Python, Power Platform, Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, or similar platforms.

This role offers the opportunity to build your consulting career in a growing area of KPMG’s Management Consulting practice. You will work with leading organizations, learn from experienced practitioners, develop deep insurance and wealth management expertise, and contribute to shaping how the practice grows.

For candidates who want client impact, career growth, industry depth, and the opportunity to work at the intersection of strategy, operations, data, technology, and AI, this is a strong platform to build from.
