Artificial Intelligence is reshaping every industry, transforming how organizations operate, innovate, and create value. But organizations aren't looking for more technology. They're looking for trusted advisors who can help them modernize operations, transform how work gets done, and realize measurable business outcomes.
At CGI, we're building on decades of consulting excellence, proven AI capabilities, and global innovation to help clients navigate this transformation. We're looking for a business consulting leader who can help expand that capability while influencing how we continue to bring AI enabled business transformation to market.
As Canada's largest IT and business consulting services firm, and a global leader with more than 400 offices worldwide, CGI combines the entrepreneurial spirit of a local business with the strength, scale, and expertise of a global organization. We call our employees Partners for a reason: 90% are shareholders who take ownership of our success. Here, you'll have the autonomy to influence strategy, the resources to make an impact, and the opportunity to help shape the future of consulting.
Your Role: Lead Transformation. Shape Strategy. Enable Growth.
As a Director Consulting, Business Transformation & AI, you'll serve as a senior business transformation consultant and trusted advisor, helping organizations understand how AI can create practical, measurable business value and realize sustainable value from their AI investments.
Working alongside CGI's Directors of Consulting Services, you'll bring deep expertise in business transformation and AI to strengthen client relationships, shape strategic opportunities, and guide organizations through complex transformation initiatives. Rather than owning client accounts, you'll complement our account leaders by helping clients develop transformation strategies, modernize business processes, and accelerate responsible AI adoption.
You'll also help shape the continued evolution of CGI's Business Transformation & AI consulting capabilities across the Atlantic Business Unit. Building on CGI's established consulting practice, global AI expertise, and proven client success, you'll have the opportunity to influence our strategy, evolve consulting offerings, strengthen our market presence, and help define how we continue delivering AI enabled transformation for our clients.
You'll collaborate closely with CGI's technical AI specialists, architects, and delivery teams, serving as the bridge between client business objectives and successful implementation.
If you're passionate about business transformation, executive advisory services, emerging technologies, and helping organizations prepare for what's next, we'd love to hear from you.
