Job description

Accenture is a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security. Combining unmatched experience and specialized skills across more than 40 industries, we offer Strategy and, Interactive, Technology, and Operations services, all powered by the world’s largest network of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Operations centers. Our 738,000 people deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity every day, serving clients in more than 120 countries. We embrace the power of change to create value and shared success for our clients, people, shareholders, partners, and communities. Visit us at www.accenture.com.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager, Infrastructure Maturity & Assessment to lead rigorous baseline assessments and maturity evaluations of enterprise infrastructure estates, translating findings into financially grounded future-state roadmaps that clients can fund and execute. This role is built for advisors who bring genuine depth across infrastructure domains — people who know what good looks like across modern practice, can measure the gap with precision, and can build the TCO and investment cases that turn an assessment into a board-level decision. The output of this work is not a report: it is a prioritized, costed roadmap that a client organization can commit to and a delivery team can run.

• Run infrastructure maturity assessments — applying structured maturity models across compute, network, storage, cloud, operations, and tooling to establish a credible, evidence-based baseline of where a client currently sits against modern practice


• Define the future state — translating assessment findings into a well-reasoned target architecture and operating model that reflects both best-practice ambition and the commercial and organizational constraints of the client


• Build the financial case — developing TCO models, infrastructure rationalization business cases, and investment scenarios that quantify the cost of current-state technical debt alongside the financial return of modernization


• Construct the roadmap — producing phased, prioritized transformation roadmaps that sequence initiatives by value, risk, and dependency, with clear investment requirements and measurable outcomes at each stage


• Present findings to CIO and senior technology audiences — communicating assessment outcomes, maturity gaps, and investment recommendations with the clarity and credibility needed to drive executive sponsorship and funding approval


• Develop and maintain Accenture's assessment methodology and maturity frameworks — keeping benchmarks current against evolving cloud, automation, and operational practice, and codifying findings into reusable intellectual property


• Support business development — using assessment engagements as the entry point for longer transformation programs, shaping downstream delivery proposals and maintaining client relationships through the advisory-to-execution handoff

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 8+ years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure, infrastructure architecture, or technology consulting — with sufficient depth across domains to assess maturity credibly and benchmark against modern practice


• Minimum 8+ years in advisory or architecture leadership roles, with a track record of delivering infrastructure assessments, target state designs, and transformation roadmaps for large, complex enterprise clients


• Minimum 3+ years of experience building TCO models and financial business cases for infrastructure investment — including infrastructure rationalization savings, cloud unit economics, and the cost of deferred modernization


• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)

Bonus Points If

• Experience developing or stewarding a proprietary infrastructure maturity framework — including ongoing calibration of benchmarks as cloud, automation, and operational best practice evolves


• Hands-on experience building infrastructure TCO models — including familiarity with cloud pricing models, on-premises refresh economics, software licensing complexity, and the financial modelling techniques needed to make cost comparisons credible to a CFO


• Deep sector experience in financial services, manufacturing, energy, or public sector, where infrastructure assessments intersect with regulatory obligation, operational risk, and multi-year capital planning cycles


• Industry certifications across cloud architecture, infrastructure, or enterprise architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP, TOGAF, or equivalent); familiarity with frameworks such as CMMI, ISO/IEC 38500, or cloud adoption maturity models

Skills

• Maturity Modelling & Baseline Assessment: Structured infrastructure domain maturity frameworks, evidence-based current-state gap analysis, and competitive/regulatory peer benchmarking.


• Financial Modelling & Business Case Development: Full-stack TCO analysis (on-prem, colo, cloud), NPV/ROI investment scenario modelling, and financial quantification of the \"cost of inaction\" and technical debt. Future-State Architecture & Roadmap Design: Target architecture definition across hybrid cloud, network, and storage, alongside dependency-sequenced transformation roadmaps with gated investment milestones.


• Executive Communication & Commercial Advisory: CIO-level risk-to-opportunity presentation frameworks and strategic positioning to convert baseline assessments into full transformation program engagements.
