Position Description:

CGI is seeking a Senior Incident Manager to lead the response and resolution of high impact technology incidents within a 24x7x365 enterprise command center environment. This role is responsible for managing incidents from both technical and business perspectives across AWS, enterprise applications, networks, infrastructure, and Unix/Linux environments. The Incident Manager will lead large incident bridges, coordinate technical investigation across multiple teams, assess business impact and risk, evaluate mitigation and recovery options, and ensure incidents progress toward resolution within established SLAs. The role requires enough technical depth to ask the right questions, trace dependencies and transaction flows, interpret monitoring information, and recommend appropriate actions while keeping large response teams focused during critical events. This is an incident leadership and technical advisory role, rather than a position responsible for directly implementing infrastructure fixes.

Other Information:

CGI is required by law in some jurisdictions to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. The determination of this range includes various factors not limited to skill set, level, experience, relevant training, and licensure and certifications. To support the ability to reward for merit-based performance, CGI typically does not hire individuals at or near the top of the range for their role. A reasonable estimate of the current range for this role in the U.S. is $109,500.00 - $138,600.00.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

• Lead major enterprise incidents from initial identification through mitigation, recovery, and closure.
• Manage business impacting incidents involving applications, AWS/cloud services, networks, and enterprise infrastructure.
• Lead incident bridges that may include 50–100 technical participants, stakeholders, and senior leaders.
• Perform technical and business impact triage and establish clear incident priorities.
• Coordinate application, infrastructure, network, cloud, Unix/Linux, and other SME teams during incident response.
• Use AWS and non-AWS monitoring tools to gather evidence and support technical investigation.
• Trace transactions, dependencies, and system to system communication across enterprise environments.
• Assess technical risk, business impact, mitigation options, and recovery status.
• Recommend mitigation and remediation actions to the responsible engineering teams.
• Ensure incidents progress within applicable enterprise SLAs.
• Maintain clear, concise communication with technical teams, business stakeholders, and senior leadership.
• Support root cause analysis, lessons learned, and continuous improvement activities following major incidents.
• Maintain focus, accountability, and effective decision making throughout high pressure incidents.
