Alvarez & Marsal's Corporate Performance Improvement practice is looking for an Infrastructure Architect to lead large-scale infrastructure and network modernization, cloud readiness assessment, and architecture transformation for clients operating complex, legacy-heavy technology environments. This role requires someone who has redesigned enterprise infrastructure architectures at scale-not just optimized existing environments. The candidate should be well versed in the latest market trends in infrastructure technology transformation.

• Data center architecture, infrastructure consolidation, and legacy system modernization at enterprise scale

• Cloud readiness assessment, migration planning, and hybrid/multi-cloud architecture design (AWS, Azure, GCP)

• Virtualization strategy and optimization (compute, storage, and hyperconverged infrastructure)

• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), automation frameworks, and CI/CD pipeline architecture

• Legacy application assessment, refactoring strategies, and containerization/Kubernetes readiness

• Storage modernization, database migration, and data architecture consolidation

• Assess cloud readiness, identify gaps in skills/tooling/governance, and develop phased migration strategy with sequencing logic

• Develop infrastructure automation and IaC implementation roadmaps to reduce manual toil and improve deployment velocity

• Evaluate dependencies between infrastructure modernization, application refactoring, and broader digital transformation initiatives

• Define and integrate infrastructure findings into A&M's broader engagement scope and deliverables

• Support practice development through internal training, content creation, and people development

• 8-12+ years of professional experience in infrastructure architecture for complex, large enterprises, with consulting or advisory delivery

• Demonstrated experience leading infrastructure modernization, cloud migration, or large-scale transformation programs

• Federal infrastructure environment experience preferred-deep modernization experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government) can substitute

• Bachelor…
