Together, we will achieve our aspirations through a relentless focus on our shared strategic agenda.
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.
It is a strategic advisory role concerned with a fundamental executive question: Are we investing in the right technology, at the right level of consumption, for the value it creates?
As capability steward, you will help clients establish the economic management system required for increasingly AI-, data- and cloud-intensive enterprises.
You will operate across four interconnected disciplines.
Investment economics. Determine whether proposed AI, data, cloud and technology investments create sufficient enterprise value and help executives allocate scarce investment capital accordingly.
Value realisation. Establish mechanisms that connect technology programs to measurable financial, operational and strategic outcomes and maintain accountability after investment approval.
Consumption economics. 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.
This role requires a rare combination of commercial strategist, financial problem solver and technologist.
You will likely bring approximately 15+ years of experience across management consulting, technology strategy, corporate finance, value advisory, FinOps, technology economics, AI strategy or adjacent disciplines.
We expect:
You should be highly capable across areas such as:
The strongest candidates may have:
You will be expected to deliver:
Technology leaders increasingly know what they can build.
Far fewer organisations can answer, with confidence: What should we invest in? What should it cost? What should we consume? What value should it create? And how will we know?
This role will build the capability that helps answer those questions.
