As a Senior Bid Manager, you will play a pivotal role in steering complex bids that drive business expansion in our Business Engineering team within our Government and Justice Business Unit. You will guide teams with clarity, bring structure to high-value opportunities, and deliver compelling, commercially robust submissions that strengthen CGI’s position in the market. This is your opportunity to take ownership of major pursuits, collaborate with expert colleagues, and introduce creative approaches that elevate our competitive edge, supported by a community that values your leadership and encourages innovation.

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.

Working closely with sales, commercial, finance and delivery colleagues, you will manage risk, timelines and resources to deliver bids that showcase CGI’s strengths and drive strategic growth.

You will also take ownership of continuous improvement—building best-practice content, refining processes and capturing lessons learned to strengthen future pursuits within a supportive, collaborative environment.

Key responsibilities:

• Manage the full bid lifecycle from qualification to submission

You should be confident managing risk, influencing stakeholders and delivering to tight deadlines.

Essential qualifications:

• Proven experience in Bid Management ideally in the UK Government sector

• Strong risk management capability

• Effective stakeholder management skills

• Excellent communication and presentation skills
