Senior Project Management Officer* in Leeds

At CGI, we deliver technology that transforms organisations and drives measurable outcomes for our clients. As a Senior Project Manager/Senior Delivery Manager, you will take ownership of complex, technology-enabled projects, leading from the front to ensure successful delivery against time, cost, quality, and contractual commitments. You will play a pivotal role in shaping delivery excellence, strengthening trusted client relationships, and guiding high-performing teams to turn strategy into tangible results.

Working in a collaborative, supportive environment, you will be empowered to make decisions, solve challenges creatively, and directly influence business impact while advancing your own professional growth. Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. This is a hybrid position based out of our Leeds office. Occasional travel to client offices in Yorkshire will be expected.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

• Take full end-to-end accountability for the successful delivery of one or more standalone technology projects, typically ranging from 200k–2m in value.
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams of 6–25 professionals, setting direction, maintaining delivery momentum, and ensuring outcomes are achieved in line with agreed scope, budget, quality, and contractual commitments.
• Actively manage risks, dependencies, financial performance, and stakeholder expectations across the full lifecycle.
• Operate as the primary point of accountability at project level, building trusted client relationships, implementing appropriate governance models, and ensuring alignment with CGI delivery, security, and quality standards.
• Drive continuous improvement and deliver meaningful impact for both our clients and CGI.

The successful candidate must be able to evidence hands-on experience delivering projects and leading Agile or hybrid delivery teams on a day-to-day basis, remaining close to the work and being accountable for delivery outcomes. We are looking for delivery leaders who understand and apply Agile principles, not simply Agile ceremonies or frameworks. You will be expected to demonstrate how you have used iterative delivery, feedback, empirical planning and continuous improvement to improve team performance and delivery outcomes.

Essential qualifications and experience:

• Proven experience delivering projects at PLP Complexity Level 2 (or equivalent).
• Demonstrable experience delivering software projects (200k–2m) with full lifecycle and financial accountability.
• Strong hands-on Agile and/or hybrid delivery experience.
• Confident use of tools such as Jira and MS Project.
• Foundation-level Project Management qualification (PRINCE2, PMI, APM or equivalent).
• Experience of at least one delivery lifecycle (Agile, Waterfall, consultancy).
