About The Position

We are looking for a high-impact Senior Consultant, Operations Management to join our Chicago Business Unit Operations team and support the success of a growing, flagship Business Unit spanning Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, and western Ohio.

Reporting directly to the Business Unit Operations Leader, you will be embedded at the center of how the business runs, supporting leadership, driving execution, and delivering visible, measurable contributions to the performance of the Business Unit across a multi-state region. You will operate at both the Business Unit and Metro level, gaining broad exposure to all aspects of the business while helping establish the operational foundation of a new and rapidly expanding Business Unit. The experience and relationships you build in this role will directly position you for future operations leadership opportunities within CGI. If you are someone who does not settle, who sees every assignment as a chance to show what you are capable of, and who wants to grow into a leader, this role was built for you. We are seeking candidates local to Chicago, Illinois who are willing to work on-site hybrid.
