Cloud Security Product Owner (AWS)

Position Description

At CGI, you'll shape the security foundations that safeguard some of the UK's most important cloud services. As an AWS Cloud Security Product Owner, you will drive secure‑by‑design principles, guide technical decision‑making, and ensure our solutions deliver measurable impact for clients operating in highly sensitive environments. This role places you at the centre of cloud transformation, where your expertise will strengthen critical national capabilities while enabling innovative, scalable, and resilient services.

You’ll work alongside collaborative teams that empower you to take ownership, influence strategic direction, and make a meaningful difference in how cloud security evolves across the UK.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

You'll collaborate closely with programme leadership, influence decision‑making, and drive continuous improvement across the cloud security landscape.

You will run technical forums, direct security investigations, and provide authoritative guidance across multiple programmes, ensuring security controls are implemented effectively and consistently.

Key responsibilities

• Lead & Influence: Provide expert AWS security direction across products and programmes.
• Develop & Govern: Define and embed cloud security capabilities, governance, and controls.
• Assure & Align: Maintain compliance with ISO standards, NCSC principles, and Secure‑by‑Design strategies.
• Review & Guide: Lead security design reviews and technical consultations.
• Optimise & Enhance: Prioritise vulnerabilities, drive remediation, and strengthen cloud security posture.
• Collaborate & Support: Steer security forums, support incidents, and lead post‑incident reviews.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role

• Strong understanding of cloud security principles, frameworks, and best practice
• Proven ability to lead security reviews and technical governance
• Knowledge of ISO27001, BS10008, NCSC CAF, and related frameworks
