About The Position

CGI is offering a full-time opportunity for Senior Counsel to join our U.S. legal team. This Senior Counsel position will support our U.S. Commercial and State/Local Government business, as part of the global Office of General Counsel's legal organization, and will report directly to the Vice President and Deputy General Counsel in the U.S. This role, as part of a small legal team in the U.S., will advise our various geographic business units on a broad range of government and commercial contracts matters in a fast-paced and collegial atmosphere. The successful candidate will join a team of professional contracts managers as well as six other in-house, U.S.-based attorneys, most of whom have large law firm experience combined with practical business instincts. The right person for this opportunity must have a strong attention to detail, be execution oriented, have strong business acumen, superior analytical and writing skills, and be well organized. Strong interpersonal and communications skills, the ability to influence others and operate in a fast-paced environment, a passion for coaching, and a healthy dose of humor as part of a highly-collaborative work environment are essential. The role offers the opportunity to interact with senior leaders in the U.S. company, as well as with colleagues across our global company. Additionally, there is an opportunity to develop skills and thought leadership that will support career development and progression within CGI. While this role offers flexibility in terms of work location, it must primarily be based near a CGI office in one of the following metropolitan markets: Washington, D.C./Northern Virginia; Atlanta, Georgia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Denver, Colorado or Dallas, Texas.
