Victoria, Canada CGI Full time

CGI is more than just an IT consulting company; we are a global organization offering a world of opportunities. Become part of an outstanding culture that gives you the freedom to innovate, influence decisions, achieve your full potential, and chart your own career. Our benefits include a share purchase program, profit sharing, wellness credits, training and development programs and flexible work schedules and locations.

This is a superb opportunity to join our CGI-Victoria team as a Proposal Manager with experience in large enterprise environments. CGI Proposal Managers are responsible for coordinating and supporting proposal development efforts prior to, and throughout the proposal lifecycle. Working within the Western Canada Business Unit’s (WBU) Proposal Management Team (PMT), the Proposal Manager assists by coordinating, supporting, and participating in various proposal work streams, managing proposal development, authoring content, and formatting and production of final proposal documents both digital and in hardcopy.

As a member of a distributed team, each Proposal Manager is responsible for supporting their own region and our model enables us to cover absences, vacations, and prioritize client demand. Proposal Managers must be able to independently manage their own workload and be willing to share and accept tasks across the team. This role requires some flexibility due to cyclical client demand.

This role is vital to the continuing growth of CGI Western Canada Business Unit, specifically the British Columbia Region, as we generate dozens of complex proposals annually.

**Insights you can act on**

While technology is at the heart of our clients’ digital transformation, we understand that people are at the heart of business success.

When you join CGI, you become a trusted advisor, collaborating with colleagues and clients to bring forward actionable insights that deliver meaningful and sustainable outcomes. We call our employees "members" because they are CGI shareholders and owners and owners who enjoy working and growing together to build a company we are proud of. This has been our Dream since 1976, and it has brought us to where we are today — one of the world’s largest independent providers of IT and business consulting services.

At CGI, we recognize the richness that diversity brings. We strive to create a work culture where all belong and collaborate with clients in building more inclusive communities. As an equal-opportunity employer, we want to empower all our members to succeed and grow. If you require an accommodation at any point during the recruitment process, please let us know. We will be happy to assist.

Ready to become part of our success story? Join CGI — where your ideas and actions make a difference.
