Concertiv Inc. is hiring an Analyst to help investment banks, private equity firms, law firms, and consulting firms manage their IT vendor relationships. Concertiv provides its clients meaningful insights into the vendors supporting the IT operations of their businesses. As an Analyst, you would be responsible for managing, organizing, and documenting clients’ vendor contracts, advising on the IT vendor landscape, driving vendor due diligence processes, and facilitating clients’ annual IT budgets. The Analyst will be the 18th member of Concertiv’s growing team.
This is a hands-on role, offering broad exposure to project management, procurement strategy, negotiation tactics, and financial services operations in a highly entrepreneurial environment. While there is a substantial analytical component to the position, it is also very much about ‘doing’ and rapidly implementing ideas, including producing client-ready presentations, client peer-based industry benchmarks, and driving cost saving projects. This is a client-facing and vendor-facing role.
A high degree of discretion is required, as you will frequently handle sensitive and confidential information within elite financial and legal services institutions.
Who will love this job:
- A competitor: you are motivated to deliver wins on behalf of clients
- A team player: you know when to collaborate and when to execute solo
- A problem solver: you ask the right questions and drive towards solutions with exceptional attention to detail
- A builder: you will develop our infrastructure, playbook, and process to support our growth
- Own collection, abstraction, scrubbing, and updating of all client IT vendor contracts
- Source technology products and recommend best-in-class products to clients
- Create IT services/vendor landscapes to help clients assess product values
- Analyze business cases, cost projections, and vendor proposals
- Lead client check-in calls with senior executives (CFOs, COOs, and GCs)
- Create marketing materials an drive industry outreach campaigns to technology leaders and potential partners
- Create peer-based IT industry benchmarks
- Generate internal and external reports to track Concertiv’s customer service wins and negotiating success
- Demo & collect client feedback on Concertiv’s proprietary software application
- Familiarity with IT operations, applications technology, and systems management valued but not required
- Experience negotiating subscription agreements as either a buyer or seller is a plus
- Ability to speak authoritatively to client stakeholders including the C-Suite
- Strong analytical skills to perform data manipulation and analysis in Excel or other data analysis tools
- Skill to create client-facing work in PowerPoint; you don’t need to be an artist, but we don’t have a design team!
- Effective written communication via email, presentations, and (down the road) white papers/industry analysis
- Ability to balance simultaneous timelines across multiple clients; calm under pressure
- Can be trusted to work when working from home
- Competitive compensation and upside potential
- Ground floor opportunity to shape the strategic direction of an industry-disrupting business
- Exposure to business leaders across finance, law, consulting, and technology
- Sharp, motivated co-workers in a fun office environment

ENGINEERING TEAM AND PROCESSES
- As a smaller company we have a very tight knit and flat engineering team where we make decisions together as a team and value everyone's input.
- We are thoughtful in how we make engineering decisions and consider alternatives and pros and cons of different approaches rather than top-down decisions.
- We use JIRA and work off 2-week sprints and quarterly OKRs but are not bureaucratic about it and adapt the process to serve our clients.
- All code is expected to be reviewed before being committed and tested when appropriate. Merges are continuously deployed to a demo environment where users can see features and releases to production happen bi-weekly.
- You would get to build our analytics platform from scratch and define the architecture. Should it be a microservice architecture built using Rust+Actix framework? Should it be a monolith built using Elixir+Phoenix? Should it be a Serverless platform? Something else? These are all decisions that you can help us make and then go implement!
- You can also help us build a reporting framework that lets our clients analyze their spend in any ad hoc manner that they might choose. Which front-end framework should we use to build this framework? Can we leverage WebAssembly to make it performant? Can it be made responsive to work on tablets in addition to laptops? What should the backend look like to support an ad hoc reporting framework?
- Our reporting framework and analytics platform are only as good as the data we ingest. How do we define a data pipeline that properly normalizes data from multiple sources? Should we be using Apache Airflow or Uber's Cadence framework or something else entirely? How do we leverage Machine Learning to automate as much of the clean up logic as possible? How do we make improving the ML models a continuous process? How do we integrate a human in the middle for when manual intervention is necessary?
- We are looking for a strong candidate who believes their technical skillset can help us solve the varied challenges we face. In addition to the above responsibilities, we work with data from various different providers and normalizing and ingesting it involves a combination of ML techniques and human intervention. We also have unique access to data that other companies do not and surfacing insights from that data and creating a user interface to communicate it in an intuitive fashion to our users is a challenge that we face.
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and upside potential
- Ground floor opportunity to shape the strategic direction of an industry-disrupting business
- Exposure to business leaders across finance, law, consulting, and technology
- Sharp, motivated co-workers in a fun environment
