Senior Consultant, Forensic Technology - eDiscovery

KPMG•Toronto, ON

About The Position

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 Forensic helps uncover the facts and create clarity when people and organizations do not agree, or where financial and business behaviour does not comply with expectations. Our professionals can offer support after an incident to help our clients investigate allegations of fraud and misconduct, quantify losses in a commercial dispute, provide expert witness services, and recover damages. We also get involved before any incident has occurred - to help address exploitable weaknesses in corporate processes and systems. In this role, you will be part of a collaborative and forward thinking practice that supports public and private sector organizations, law firms, corporate legal teams, and investigative departments. Together, we provide end-to-end guidance in managing electronic evidence throughout the digital investigation lifecycle, from initial identification and acquisition to preservation, analysis, and presentation. We are currently looking for a Senior Consultant to join our dynamic Evidence and Discovery Management (EDM) team.
