Working at the centre of two global technology leaders, you’ll align CGI’s expertise with Microsoft’s to unlock new opportunities and deliver lasting impact. Your leadership will directly influence CGI’s growth strategy and help drive digital transformation across industries.

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, and a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) - making you a CGI Partner, not just an employee.

We’re committed to inclusivity and diversity, supporting everyone to thrive - including our Armed Forces community, for which we proudly hold a Gold Award under the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.

Join an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you to take your career wherever you want it to go.

Candidate profile

You’ll take ownership of CGI’s strategic relationship with Microsoft, developing and executing growth strategies that drive measurable results. Working across business units, you’ll create joint go-to-market initiatives, expand market coverage, and strengthen our partnership at every level.

You’ll build trusted relationships, influence senior stakeholders, and lead engagement to ensure CGI and Microsoft achieve shared success. Backed by a collaborative team, you’ll have the freedom to innovate and the support to deliver lasting business impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead & Innovate: Define and deliver CGI’s Microsoft alliance growth strategy.

• Develop & Deliver: Drive new opportunities through co-sell and go-to-market initiatives.

• Deep understanding of Microsoft solutions, sales models, and partner frameworks.

• Proven success driving joint growth through strategic partnerships.

• Strong commercial and negotiation experience with complex deal structures.

• Ability to influence and collaborate across senior internal and external stakeholders.
