Position Description

At CGI, effective talent planning helps our teams deliver their best work and ensures we have the right skills in the right place to support our clients and business priorities. As a Junior Talent Planner within our GTO Talent Planning team in Waterton, Bridgend, you’ll help connect our partners with opportunities where they can make an impact. Working alongside experienced Talent Planners, you’ll take ownership of key resourcing activities, use data to support informed decisions and contribute ideas that improve how we work. With a collaborative team around you and opportunities to build your expertise, this 12-month secondment offers an excellent foundation for developing a career in talent planning, resourcing or workforce management.

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

In this role, you will support workforce planning and resourcing activities across GTO, helping ensure our partners are effectively deployed and aligned with business priorities. You’ll work closely with experienced Talent Planners, taking ownership of day-to-day coordination while building your knowledge of talent planning and workforce management.

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.
