At CGI, we partner with the UK’s Defence sector to deliver secure, mission-critical systems that safeguard our nation. As a Test Manager, you will play a pivotal role in assuring the quality of enterprise-grade solutions that protect lives and strengthen resilience. You’ll take ownership of testing across complex programmes, applying your expertise to drive innovation, enhance collaboration, and ensure delivery success. In joining us, you’ll be empowered to lead with creativity, supported by a diverse community of experts, and recognised for the lasting impact of your work on national security.



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.
