The opportunity Technology investment is becoming increasingly consumption-driven. Cloud replaced much fixed infrastructure expenditure with variable consumption. Generative AI introduced token, inference, model and compute economics. Agentic AI will amplify the challenge as autonomous systems consume technology continuously and increasingly make decisions that themselves generate additional consumption. At the same time, boards and executive teams are demanding stronger evidence that major technology and AI investments are generating measurable enterprise value. Deloitte Africa Engineering, AI & Data Advisory is building a capability dedicated to solving both sides of this equation. We are looking for an exceptional Senior Manager – AI, Technology Value & Economics to build and lead a distinctive advisory business spanning value realisation, investment economics, consumption economics, AI economics and FinOps . This is not an internal finance role and it is not simply cloud cost optimisation.

Create transparency over how technology consumption translates into business outcomes, including cloud, data, GPU, model, inference, token and increasingly agent consumption. Commercial optimisation. Help clients make informed decisions around technology commercial models, vendor structures, licensing, commitments and consumption arrangements. You will simultaneously build the market, propositions, talent and intellectual property required to scale this into a material Deloitte Africa Advisory business.
