Position Description
Step into a role where your expertise shapes the next generation of IT services. As a Service Architect at CGI, you will help clients reimagine how technology enables exceptional user experiences, strengthens operational performance, and delivers measurable business outcomes. You’ll work at the forefront of service innovation, supporting organisations across the UK as they modernise, transform, and adopt new ways of working. Here, you’ll contribute to high-impact change while enjoying the freedom to design solutions, the space to bring fresh ideas, and the backing of a collaborative community that enables you to grow, thrive, and truly influence the future of service management.
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 you will be expected to travel 2-3 days a week to either CGI offices or to client sites.

You will also play a vital role in developing others—mentoring junior consultants, sharing best practice, and contributing to a culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
