**Position Description:**
The best version of us starts with you. CGI is a global company of owners who shape the direction of our company and our own careers, while achieving meaningful results for our clients and making a positive impact on the communities we call home. With over 90,000 consultants and other professionals in over 400 locations across the globe, CGI delivers an end-to-end portfolio of capabilities, from strategic IT and business consulting to systems integration, managed IT and business process services and intellectual property solutions.
The best version of us comes from empowering you with the respect and flexibility your career deserves. The best version of you starts with a willingness to evolve and continually challenge yourself. We come together as teams with diverse backgrounds to solve the complex business and IT challenges with comprehensive services for leading organizations around the world.
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.

CGI utilizes a hybrid model and CGI partners should be prepared to work in a local CGI office or client site, as needed.
**Your future duties and responsibilities:**
- Provide legal advice on and lead contract negotiations with state and local government and commercial clients (occasional travel may be required), including reviewing, drafting and negotiating large complex IT contracts and related subcontracts, teaming agreements, and software licenses
- Assist internal clients in developing negotiation and risk mitigation strategies as part of proposal preparation, contract execution and eventual performance
- Advise on various teaming and partner relationships as well as on issues involving contract compliance, delays and bid protests
- Providing support in interpretation of complex contract provisions
- Maintain close working relationships with business development and project delivery colleagues
- Work closely with the Deputy General Counsel and other legal team members in connection with dispute resolution and litigation-oriented matters
**Required qualifications to be successful in this role:**
- JD from a leading and ABA accredited law school
- Member of at least one State Bar required, including where currently located
- Preferred 6-8 years of law experience, practicing at a reputable national law firm and/or in-house required
- Working knowledge of both commercial and public sector contracting practices in the IT industry (e.g., outsourcing, managed services, software licensing, intellectual property rights, acceptance, warranties, liabilities, indemnification, remedies)
- Ability to proactively lead a negotiation with minimal oversight, with an understanding of how to bargain over key terms in a way that will not alienate clients
- Ability to show initiative, and to manage multiple diverse contractual matters simultaneously with demonstrated follow-through and timely tracking to deadlines
- Ability to work independently and to creatively work through business issues as well as legal issues
- Ability to learn quickly, gain credibility and influence internal business clients at all levels
- Excellent interpersonal skills at all levels of the organization, a demonstrated strong team player, and a good sense of humor
- Pragmatic, flexible transactional negotiation style
- Confident self-starter who also knows when to ask questions and to escalate matters
- Highly adaptable professional that is able to maintain a professional and genuine "can do" attitude in response to challenging situations and changing priorities
- Strong written, analytical and communication skills
- Ability to demonstrate sound, pragmatic judgment in ambiguous situations
Strong emphasis is placed on a candidate with a hands-on style who seeks to handle most legal issues in-house in collaboration with fellow attorneys as well as contracts professionals.
CGI expects to accept applications through October 31, 2025.
