About Us
You want to boost your career and collaborate with expert, talented colleagues to solve and deliver against our clients’ most important challenges? Infosys Consulting is a global management consulting firm helping leading organisations navigate complex business and technology transformations. We operate in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment, combining the agility of a boutique consultancy with the scale, engineering depth, and global reach of Infosys.
At Infosys Consulting, we believe that real transformation happens at the intersection of business strategy and technology execution.

We work as one team across consulting and technology, enabling our clients to move from strategy to execution with speed, confidence, and accountability.
About Your Role
As an M&A Integration & Separation Architect , you will play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering complex transformation programmes driven by mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and carve-outs. You will operate at the intersection of strategy, architecture, and execution, translating deal intent into robust, executable blueprints that enable successful business outcomes.
You will own the definition of end-to-end integration and separation architectures , including Target Operating Models (TOM), transition states, and the technical and operational roadmap required to achieve them. Working across applications, infrastructure, data, identity, and business processes, you will ensure that solutions are not only strategically aligned but also feasible, scalable, and deliverable within the constraints of the deal.
You will be engaged across the full M&A lifecycle — from pre-deal feasibility and technology due diligence, through Day‑1 readiness and TSA design, to post-close stabilisation and value realisation. You will collaborate closely with client stakeholders, functional leads, and Infosys delivery teams to ensure seamless execution, while maintaining a clear focus on business continuity, risk mitigation, and value capture.
This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, deep architecture expertise, and hands-on delivery leadership , as well as the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, high-pressure environments where timelines are fixed and outcomes are critical
