The Role

As an M&A Discovery & Execution Consultant (Generalist), you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of integration and separation programmes across the deal lifecycle.

This role is ideal for a well-rounded consultant who can operate across multiple domains—combining analytical capability, structured thinking, and hands-on delivery support.

We act as an execution confidence partner, ensuring that deal intent is translated into practical, deliverable outcomes that maximise value and minimise risk.

We bring a distinctive combination of advisory, architecture, and delivery orchestration, supported by Infosys’ global delivery capability. Our teams work across applications, infrastructure, data, and business processes to enable seamless integration or separation, while maintaining business continuity and accelerating synergy realisation. We also leverage emerging technologies, automation, and AI-enabled insights to enhance decision-making and drive efficiency throughout the deal lifecycle.
