Job Description

At CGI, we empower clients to transform their organisations through data-driven digital innovation, and this role places you at the centre of that impact. You will shape modern digital and data architectures that unlock value, accelerate strategic change and enable clients to achieve measurable outcomes. Working as part of a collaborative community, you'll take ownership of high-impact solutions, applying creative thinking to complex challenges while being supported by experts across our global network. This is an opportunity to influence major programmes, guide digital strategy and design scalable technologies that help organisations thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape.



CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK 'Best Employer' by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee.


We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.



Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. This is a hybrid position and we expect you to be travelling 2 to 3 days per week on average, to either CGI offices or to client sites.
