Job Description

Join one of Canada's most respected technology consulting organizations and help shape the future of digital transformation across Nova Scotia.

At CGI, we don't just deliver projects, we build lasting client partnerships. As the country's largest IT and business consulting services firm (and a global leader with 400+ offices worldwide), CGI offers the entrepreneurial freedom of a start-up backed by the stability and scale of a global powerhouse. We call our employees partners for a reason: 90% are shareholders who take real ownership of our success. Here, you'll find the autonomy to drive your business, the resources to make an impact, and a culture that celebrates accountability, growth, and collaboration.

As Director of Consulting Services (DCS), you'll lead the growth of CGI's presence across Atlantic Metro and Nova Scotia, building trusted relationships with senior public and private sector leaders.



You'll help clients modernize, transform, and grow through technology, from cloud and AI to enterprise modernization and digital experience, while leading a high-performing consulting team that shares your passion for delivering measurable outcomes. If you're energized by business development, strategic leadership, and making a difference for clients and communities, this is your opportunity to lead with purpose. This is an onsite position based in Halifax, NS.
