Position Description
At CGI, we’re reimagining how digital public services are designed and delivered — putting people, insight and innovation at the heart of every experience. As a Senior Service Designer, you’ll play a key role in shaping user-centred, end-to-end services that meet real-world needs and deliver measurable value. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across research, design, and technology, you’ll help transform how organisations operate and make decisions. Here, your expertise will make a tangible difference, supported by a culture that values collaboration, creativity, and ownership — empowering you to shape the future of digital service design.

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.

Working collaboratively with researchers, product managers, and engineers, you’ll turn insights into actionable service improvements, ensuring every journey is intuitive, inclusive, and effective. You’ll play a leading part in shaping service design practices within CGI — modelling best practice, mentoring colleagues, and helping define how design adds measurable value to digital transformation programmes.
