Position Description

At CGI, we turn ideas into impact. As a Senior Bid Writer, you’ll create compelling proposals that help win complex IT and digital opportunities across public and private sector clients. Working with bid, sales, and technical teams, you’ll turn technical solutions into clear client-focused stories that drive growth, innovation, and business 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 and proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join a collaborative community where you’ll be supported to grow your career.

This is a hybrid position. We recognise the importance of flexibility and would be happy to consider applications from candidates seeking part-time working arrangements, where this can be accommodated alongside business requirements.

Your Future Duties and Responsibilities

You’ll lead the development of high-quality proposals for complex IT, digital, and consulting opportunities. Working within structured bid processes, you’ll create persuasive responses that clearly communicate client value and support successful bid outcomes.

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.
