Infrastructure Maturity & Assessment Senior Manager

Senior Manager, Infrastructure Maturity & Assessment

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.

Responsibilities:

• 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…
