Senior Solution Strategist - Public Safety & Government

Job description

Position Description:

At CGI, we’re shaping the future of public safety by delivering innovative, high-impact technology solutions that protect communities and enhance the services citizens rely on every day. As a Senior Solution Strategist within our Public Safety Growth team, you’ll play a pivotal role in defining and delivering solution strategies that transform how government and emergency services operate. You’ll have the freedom to drive innovation, take ownership of strategic initiatives, and collaborate with clients to deliver measurable value across the UK’s most critical programmes. Here, you’ll be empowered to make a real difference—both for society and for your own professional growth.
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. Whilst this is a hybrid position it will involve travel to clients and other CGI offices as required.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

As a Senior Solution Strategist, you will lead the development of innovative, scalable solution strategies that shape CGI’s presence in the Public Safety sector. You will work at the forefront of client engagement, steering technology strategy, defining architectures, and aligning propositions with our clients’ missions to improve public safety outcomes. Supported by a collaborative and expert team, you will play a key role in driving growth and delivering solutions that make a genuine difference to UK citizens.
• Lead & Innovate: Shape solution and technology strategies for major Public Safety programmes.

• Inspire & Enable: Facilitate workshops and innovation sessions that bring ideas to life and help clients shape the future of public safety.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

You will bring a blend of strategic thinking, technical understanding, and strong communication skills, with experience shaping digital and data-driven solutions in a public sector or safety environment. You’ll be confident in engaging senior stakeholders, driving innovation, and translating complex ideas into compelling, client-aligned strategies.
• Proven experience in solution strategy and design within the public sector or Public Safety domain.
• Strong understanding of Central Government and Public Safety technology landscapes.
• Ability to lead client workshops and executive engagement sessions.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and writing skills.
