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.

You'll bring together cross-functional teams to design winning propositions, ensuring clients benefit from CGI's deep expertise in IT services, consulting, and innovation.
You will own the end-to-end sales lifecycle, from developing market-specific strategies and nurturing executive-level relationships to leading competitive pursuits and securing long-term partnerships. Supported by CGI's collaborative culture and global network, you'll be empowered to deliver measurable impact while advancing your own career.

You will be confident working with C-suite stakeholders, skilled at shaping solutions to client challenges, and motivated to drive meaningful outcomes through technology-enabled transformation.
You Should Have
