Job Vacancy Service Delivery Manager

In this role, you will act as the operational link between the client, CGI delivery and support teams, and third-party suppliers. You’ll take ownership of service health, operational risk, governance and stakeholder communication, ensuring CGI delivers against its agreed Statement of Work. You’ll build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, provide clear and factual service information and ensure risks, priorities and contractual boundaries remain visible.



A key part of your role will be creating the conditions for technical teams to succeed. You’ll remove operational blockers, manage competing priorities and protect specialist capacity while coordinating major incidents, problems, transitions and continual service improvements. Working alongside supportive CGI colleagues and partner organisations, you’ll use evidence and sound judgement to navigate complex multi-supplier environments, identify smarter ways of working and maintain service stability through periods of pressure and change.



• Lead & Govern: Act as CGI’s primary Service Management contact, maintaining oversight of service health, performance, risks and operational governance.

• Engage & Influence: Build trusted relationships with client Product Owners, Delivery Managers, Business Analysts and senior stakeholders.

• Enable & Support: Remove operational barriers, manage competing demands and help technical specialists remain focused on service stability and complex investigations.

• Manage & Resolve: Coordinate CGI activities during Major Incidents and Problem Management, ensuring investigations are evidence-based and Post Incident Reviews drive meaningful action.

• Coordinate & Clarify: Work across a multi-supplier environment to establish accountability, coordinate investigations and ensure issues reach the appropriate teams.

• Protect & Deliver: Maintain a strong understanding of the Statement of Work, managing out-of-scope requests appropriately and protecting CGI’s contractual position.

• Improve & Innovate: Drive continual service improvement, including opportunities for automation, shift-left, monitoring, observability, documentation and knowledge sharing.

• Transition & Stabilise: Coordinate service transitions, knowledge transfer, operational readiness and onboarding while safeguarding continuity.

• Report & Communicate: Deliver clear service reporting, including Quarterly Business Reviews, translating technical information into business-focused insights.

• Collaborate & Develop: Work with peer Service Managers to share knowledge, provide service cover and continuously strengthen the operating model.

• Support Commercial Outcomes: Where required, contribute to resource forecasting, financial governance, revenue and margin reporting and invoice validation.

• Champion Sustainability: Maintain open communication with technical teams, raise capacity concerns and support sustainable workloads during periods of operational pressure.
