Position Description
At CGI, you'll help organisations strengthen their resilience against an evolving cyber threat landscape while delivering meaningful outcomes for some of the UK's most critical organisations. Working alongside one of the UK's largest cyber security consultancies, you'll tackle complex security challenges, influence strategic decisions, and help clients protect what matters most. You'll be empowered to take ownership of your work, encouraged to think creatively, and supported by a collaborative community committed to your professional growth and long-term success.
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.
Your future duties and responsibilities
As a Cyber Security Consultant, you'll become part of a collaborative team of more than 280 cyber professionals delivering end-to-end security services across government, defence, healthcare, utilities, banking and financial services. You'll work closely with clients to understand their business objectives, identify security risks, and develop practical, risk-based solutions that strengthen resilience and support secure transformation.
