Consultant – Experience Design & Service Design

CGI’s Management Consulting and Strategic IT Consulting practice is looking for an Experience Design \& Service Design Consultant.

We are looking for professionals with experience in UX, as well as Customer Strategy, Customer Experience (CX), and Service Design, to join our multidisciplinary team. Are you a designer who enjoys strategy? A strategist who enjoys design? Is accessibility a topic you are passionate about? Do you believe a designer’s role goes beyond creating mockups? So do we!

In this role, you will have the opportunity to actively contribute to the growth of our practice. Your expertise will complement that of a highly experienced team, helping you achieve both your own goals and those of our clients. You will support clients in their customer, employee, and user experience transformations and in the evolution of their services. You will be responsible for designing experiences for the customers, employees, or citizens impacted by our clients’ initiatives and for developing the associated strategies.

If you enjoy working on topics that are central to business strategy—such as transformation support, customer- and employee-centric strategic planning, improving customer journeys and designing ideal experiences from a CX perspective, employee retention and professional development from an EX perspective, and more—you will find at CGI a stimulating opportunity to make a tangible impact on the success of our clients.

The determination of this range includes factors such as skill set level, geographic market, experience and training, and licenses and certifications. Compensation decisions depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is 70 000$ et 135 000$. This role is an existing vacancy.
