About The Job You’re Considering
As Engagement Director, you will operate at the pinnacle of Capgemini’s Public Business Unit—a trusted leader shaping the future of enterprise‑scale, technology‑enabled public sector transformation. You will be at the helm of major client engagements, leading large portfolios or complex transformation programmes where SAP and other enterprise platforms play a significant role, steering strategic business growth and orchestrating high‑impact delivery that touches millions of lives across the UK.
This role is not just a leadership position—it is an opportunity to influence the direction of national services by partnering directly with senior stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor on transformation strategy, platform direction and delivery approach.

Hybrid working: The places you work from day to day will vary according to your role and needs. It will be a blend of company offices, client sites and home; you will not be able to work from home 100% of the time. For this role, it is expected that you will work from the London, Worthing or Telford office three days per week.
