ARG is seeking an Analyst to join forces with one of the nation’s leading technology consulting practices to source and provide information that will help clients make critical technology decisions. As an Analyst, you will work closely with ARG’s Technology Advisors as well as ARG’s ecosystem of industry-leading providers to source the correct information, ensure accuracy, and communicate it in a way that helps our clients make decisions.

ARG’s Analysts are responsible for advocating for our clients through the pricing process and ensuring that the quotes we receive are not just competitive, but that they solve the right problems.

• Provide subject matter expertise for ARG's consulting practice for all pricing requests.
