At CGI, we empower our clients to unlock the full potential of cloud technology through strategic insight and hands-on innovation. As an Azure Architect, you’ll play a key role in shaping transformative cloud solutions that drive measurable business success and long-term resilience. You’ll collaborate across industries, helping organisations design and implement modern, scalable Azure environments that accelerate digital transformation. Here, you’ll work with leading experts, have the freedom to innovate, and be supported by a culture that values creativity, ownership, and collaboration, enabling you to make a real, lasting impact.

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.

Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. Our teams operate within a flexible hybrid working model, however on-site requirements vary by project, so the ability to travel as required to meet client needs is essential.

Your future duties and responsibilities

In this role, you will advise and architect Azure-based solutions that enable clients to modernise their infrastructure, enhance scalability, and deliver tangible business outcomes. You’ll engage directly with stakeholders, defining cloud strategies, shaping architecture, and guiding teams through delivery, from vision to deployment. Working alongside CGI colleagues and client partners, you’ll balance strategy with hands-on implementation, ensuring each solution meets performance, security, and cost optimisation goals.

You’ll take ownership of technical direction while fostering collaboration and innovation across teams. You’ll be empowered to share knowledge, mentor others, and bring creative thinking to every challenge, driving excellence across every project.
