As an AI Tokenomics Managing Consultant, you will be responsible for leading the development, delivery and continual improvement of AI Tokenomics capabilities. They will help organisations understand, govern and optimise token-based AI consumption, connecting AI usage, cost, efficiency and business value across generative and agentic AI workloads.
