At CGI, we empower clients to turn bold ideas into measurable business outcomes through innovation, data, and AI strategy.

CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and named a UK “Best Employer” by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, pension, private healthcare, and a share scheme that makes you a CGI Partner, not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse tech community, and proudly hold a Gold Award for our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.

* Strong facilitation skills leading large groups and teams effectively through co‑creation workshops from idea to execution with the ability to adapt and pivot.
