Project Manager (Senior Consultant)

Job description

Position Description:

At CGI, you will play a pivotal role in delivering programmes that genuinely matter. As a Project Manager, you will help shape and deliver one of our flagship digital transformation initiatives that improve services, drive efficiency and create lasting value for our clients. You will be trusted to take ownership of delivery outcomes, encouraged to bring fresh thinking to complex challenges, and supported by a collaborative community of experts who share responsibility for success. This is an opportunity to lead with impact, influence meaningful change, and grow your career within an organisation that invests in its people and empowers them to make a difference.
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 but you will need to work on site in our Belfast office or on client site for 2/3 days a week.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

In this role, you will take ownership of helping to deliver one of our flagship government digital transformation projects. You will work in a multidisciplinary delivery team, working closely with the Programme Manager, technical lead, architects and development teams to deliver outcomes to time, cost, quality and contractual commitments. You will manage the full project lifecycle, from initiation through to delivery, acceptance into service and handover, ensuring strong governance, clear communication and continuous momentum.
You will need to build trusted relationships with our client and other stakeholders, proactively managing risks, financial performance and delivery dependencies. Alongside delivery accountability, you will contribute to developing team capability, fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration, and helping to strengthen CGI’s wider delivery community.
Key responsibilities include:
• Lead & deliver end-to-end project lifecycles across technical and transformation workstreams
• Own scope, schedule, budget and quality outcomes for assigned projects or teams
• Develop & maintain delivery plans, roadmaps and dependencies
• Manage risks, issues and change through structured governance and pragmatic decision-making
• Build strong client relationships and act as a primary point of contact
• Provide leadership, coaching and performance feedback to multidisciplinary teams
• Produce clear, accurate reporting and support delivery assurance activities

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

You will be an experienced Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex projects or workstreams within structured governance environments. You will be confident working across Agile and traditional delivery models, comfortable engaging with technical stakeholders, and able to balance commercial, delivery and people considerations in fast-moving environments.
You should have:
• Practitioner-level project management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2 Practitioner, PMP)
• Strong experience delivering projects through at least one full lifecycle
• Proven ability to manage medium-complexity projects with budget accountability
• Strong Agile delivery experience, including leading Scrum teams where required
