Description
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.
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.
Key responsibilities include:
- Defining and owning the end-to-end integration or separation architecture, including Target Operating Model, transition architectures, and phased delivery roadmap
- Translating deal thesis and business objectives into practical, executable architecture designs across applications, infrastructure, data, and processes
- Establishing guiding principles, standards, and architectural guardrails to drive consistency across complex programmes
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.
The ideal candidate will have significant experience (6+ years) in M&A integration, separation, or large-scale transformation programmes, with a proven track record of defining and delivering end-to-end architecture in complex, multi-workstream environments.
You will have strong experience across multiple architecture domains, including enterprise applications, cloud and infrastructure, data and analytics, identity and access management, and hands-on experience with Day‑1 planning, TSA structures, and post-merger integration or carve-out execution.
Additionally, you will have strong consulting skillset with the ability to operate across strategy, design, and execution phases, experience working in fast-paced, high-pressure deal environments, managing ambiguity and fixed timelines, and ability to manage and influence cross-functional and cross-geography teams within large programmes.
You will be able to engage and influence senior stakeholders, including CIOs, CTOs, and business leaders, and connect technology decisions to business value, deal rationale, and synergy outcomes.
Required skills include:
- Excellent problem-solving and structured thinking capabilities
- Experience supporting business development activities, including proposals, solution shaping, and client presentations
- Strong facilitation skills, with experience running client workshops and design sessions
- Ability to clearly articulate complex ideas through high-quality written and verbal communication
- Creative and inquisitive mindset, with the ability to challenge assumptions and develop innovative solutions
Business fluency in English and German is required.
