Success in this role will be achieved through your strong technical expertise, proactive problem‑solving abilities, and excellent communication skills with clients.

This position is located in one of CGI Federal's offices in Fairfax, VA, Lebanon, VA, Lafayette, LA or Knoxville, TN; however, a hybrid working model is acceptable. You will be required to work in a CGI Federal office two days per week.

• Deliver SAP security solutions, analytics, reports, and documentation—including TDS, FDS, WRICEF documents, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)—to support project objectives and security compliance.
