Position Description
At CGI, we are shaping the future of defence through secure, high‑impact digital services that enhance operational effectiveness and resilience. As part of a newly established programme, you will play a pivotal role in embedding robust Event Management practices that drive service stability, performance, and innovation. Working within a collaborative and forward‑thinking environment, you will help design and deliver intelligent, proactive solutions that reduce disruption and enable real‑time decision‑making. This is an opportunity to take ownership from the outset, influence how services evolve, and contribute to mission‑critical outcomes that matter.
Benefits
We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, and a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee.
