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. Our approach brings together deep functional expertise, industry insight, and cutting-edge digital capabilities to deliver measurable outcomes. We work as one team across consulting and technology, enabling our clients to move from strategy to execution with speed, confidence, and accountability. **The Role ** As an **M&A Technology Value & Rationalisation Lead**, you will play a central role in identifying, quantifying, and delivering technology-driven value in the context of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. You will bridge the gap between deal rationale and execution by translating the technology aspects of the deal thesis into measurable, trackable, and achievable outcomes. You will lead the development of **technology cost baselines, synergy hypotheses, and value creation plans**, working across applications, infrastructure, data, and vendor ecosystems. Your role will be critical in ensuring that value identified during due diligence is realistic, actionable, and ultimately delivered during integration or separation. Operating across the full deal lifecycle, you will support **pre-deal technology due diligence**, shape **value creation and synergy cases pre-close**, and drive **post-close tracking and realisation of benefits**. You will work closely with Finance, Integration Management Office (IMO), and functional workstreams to ensure alignment between financial targets and delivery execution. This role requires a blend of **strong analytical capability, technology understanding, and commercial acumen**, as well as the ability to operate in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where timelines are fixed and expectations are high. You will be expected to challenge assumptions, bring structure to ambiguity, and ensure that technology is a core enabler of deal value. ## Requirements ### Role & Responsibilities  **Technology Value Strategy & Synergy Identification**  - Lead the development of **technology value creation strategies** aligned to the overall deal thesis, including cost synergies, revenue enablement opportunities, and efficiency gains - Identify and quantify **synergy opportunities across applications, infrastructure, data, and third-party vendors**, including rationalisation, consolidation, and modernisation initiatives - Develop **bottom-up, evidence-based analysis** to validate synergy assumptions and challenge overly optimistic or unrealistic projections - Establish detailed **technology cost baselines**, including run costs (applications, infrastructure, licences, support) and change costs (transformation, integration, separation) - Define and implement **value tracking mechanisms**, ensuring that synergies are clearly linked to delivery initiatives and measurable outcomes - Work with IMO and delivery teams to monitor progress, track benefits realisation, and proactively address shortfalls **Due Diligence & Advisory Support** - Support **technology due diligence activities**, providing insights into cost structures, technical debt, contract obligations, and optimisation potential - Identify key **value levers, risks, and dis-synergies** early in the deal lifecycle - Contribute to the development of **clear, defensible value creation plans** prior to signing - Work closely with client stakeholders across Technology, Finance, and Business teams to **align on value targets and delivery plans** - Clearly articulate technology value opportunities and progress to both technical and non-technical audiences **Practice Development & Capability Building**  - Contribute to the development of Infosys Consulting’s **M&A value creation methodologies, tools, and accelerators** (e.g., baseline models, synergy frameworks, dashboards) - Support business development activities, including **proposals, value-led client conversations, and offering development** - Stay current with industry trends in **technology cost optimisation, cloud economics, and AI-enabled efficiency**, applying these insights in M&A contexts ### Requirements **Experience & Expertise**    - Senior consultant with 5+ years of experience in one or more of: \- M&A integration/separation \- Technology cost optimisation / IT financial management \- Large-scale transformation programmes involving technology rationalisation - Proven experience in **identifying, quantifying, and delivering cost savings or value creation initiatives** - Strong understanding of **technology cost drivers**, including: \- Application portfolios \- Infrastructure and cloud environments \- Software licensing and vendor contracts - Experience working on **due diligence, synergy modelling, or value creation planning** is highly desirable - Strong analytical skills with the ability to build and interpret technology **cost baselines and business cases** **Core Consulting Competencies**  - Excellent problem-solving and **structured thinking** capabilities - Experience supporting **business development activities**, including proposals, solution shaping, and client presentations is desirable - 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 ## Benefits ### **The Team** Our M&A practice is at the forefront of this ambition.
