Position Description
At CGI, we are shaping the future of responsible, scalable AI, helping organisations unlock measurable value, transform decision-making, and reimagine customer experiences. As an AI Specialist within our AI Practice, you will play a pivotal role in designing and delivering innovative AI solutions that solve complex business challenges across industries. Working at the heart of our UK & Australia business, you will turn emerging technologies into practical, high-impact outcomes, guiding clients from strategy through to deployment. Here, you will take ownership of meaningful work, apply creative thinking to real-world problems, and be supported by a collaborative community committed to delivering secure, ethical, and forward-thinking AI solutions.

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. Our teams operate within a flexible hybrid working model, however on-site requirements vary by project, so the ability to travel as required to meet client needs is essential.

From proof of concept to deployment and optimisation, you will take ownership of the full AI lifecycle, ensuring solutions are robust, compliant, and aligned to industry best practice.
You will apply advanced techniques across Machine Learning, Generative AI, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and analytics, while mentoring colleagues and contributing to the growth of our AI Practice.
