Position Description

At CGI, our leaders shape strategy, drive growth and deliver lasting impact for clients—and behind every high-performing leader is a trusted partner who enables their success. As an Executive Assistant within our Leeds Business Unit, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring strategic priorities translate into action. From orchestrating seamless operations to leading meaningful community and engagement initiatives, you will help create the conditions for innovation, collaboration and measurable business outcomes. This is an opportunity to take real ownership, influence culture and contribute to a business that values initiative, professionalism and shared 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.

Your future duties and responsibilities

In this role, you will be the trusted partner to a Business Unit Leader and Senior Leadership Team, ensuring their time is optimised and strategic priorities are delivered. You will manage complex schedules, oversee communications and coordinate leadership activity, enabling focus on growth and client impact. Acting as a central point of contact across internal teams and external stakeholders, you will drive clarity, efficiency and alignment while maintaining the highest standards of discretion and professionalism. You will be empowered to bring new ideas, enhance processes and help foster a collaborative, high-performing environment.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
