You will work within established delivery frameworks like Agile, ITIL, and Product-centric approaches, advising clients on maximising application value.

Depending on your strengths and business needs, you may specialise as either a functional consultant (for example, HR, Finance, or Supply Chain) or as a technical application consultant, working with technologies such as Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, AWS Cloud, Azure Cloud, and Java.

Regardless of specialism, you will play a role in delivering and supporting the next generation of AI-enabled business applications. AI and intelligent automation are rapidly transforming how organisations develop, operate and optimise their technology platforms, and we are looking for graduates who are excited by these opportunities and willing to continuously develop their AI capabilities. Working alongside experienced consultants and engineers, you will explore how AI can improve software development, testing, support, operations and business processes, helping to deliver innovative solutions that create measurable value for both Capgemini and our clients.

You will also have opportunities to participate in AI communities, innovation challenges, hackathons and real-world client initiatives, helping you build practical experience with AI and emerging technologies that are transforming the future of application services.
