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.

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. You will be expected to bring clarity to ambiguous situations, build high-quality outputs, and contribute to the overall success of complex M&A programmes.
