This is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on how organisations leverage data to drive performance, innovation, and decision-making.

• Apply agile and hybrid delivery practices within CGI’s delivery framework to ensure consistency, quality and transparency.
  

• Act as a key connection point between technical teams and client stakeholders, translating complex concepts into clear, meaningful business insights.
  

• Build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, ensuring alignment on priorities, scope and measures of success.
  

• Manage project budgets, risks, timelines and dependencies across multiple concurrent streams.
  

• Support the development of our data capability by mentoring team members and promoting a culture of learning, collaboration and continuous improvement.
  

• Champion the use of modern data platforms (Azure Data Factory, Data Lake, Databricks, SQL Server) to deliver scalable, efficient solutions.
  

• Identify opportunities to uplift delivery efficiency, data quality and governance, and contribute to pre-sales and proposal work as needed.

Essential:

• Experience delivering data or analytics projects in consulting, IT services or enterprise environments.
  

• Strong understanding of the data delivery lifecycle, including ingestion, transformation, modelling and testing.

• Demonstrated capability in project and stakeholder management, including oversight of budgets, schedules and risk.
  

• Experience leading multidisciplinary technical teams within agile or hybrid delivery environments.
  

• Excellent communication and facilitation skills across both business and technical audiences
