Specifically, you will bring:

• Credibility and personal impact; you will be respected by colleagues and clients.
• Versatility and collaborative in style, empathetic in nature, confident in content and focused on outcomes at all levels in the client organisation.
• A passion to shape, motivate and deliver AI, Data Science and Analytics work.

NEED TO KNOW

CSR:

When you join Capgemini, you'll join a team that does the right thing.

Whilst you will have London, Manchester or Glasgow as an office base location, you must be fully flexible in terms of assignment location, as these roles may involve periods of time away from home at short notice.

We offer a remuneration package which includes flexible benefits options for you to choose to suit your own personal circumstances and a variable element dependent on grade and on company and personal performance.
