We’re hiring!
Junior Product Analyst (FinTech & Platform)
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Junior Product Analyst (FinTech & Platform) to take real ownership of product initiatives and help drive delivery across multiple product areas. This contract-to-hire role is ideal for someone early in their product journey who brings energy, curiosity, and strong follow-through, and is eager to build product skills quickly. You’ll collaborate closely with product leadership, engineering, design, and customer-facing teams to identify and validate customer needs, turn messy inputs into clear requirements, support engineering execution through strong documentation and iteration, and help deliver meaningful features and improvements in a distributed, global team environment, while being accountable for outcomes, not just attending meetings.
What You’ll Do
Drive Requirements & Execution with Engineering (Accountability Focus)
- Own the definition of requirements for product improvements — including user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge cases
- Work directly with engineering to clarify requirements, answer questions, and unblock delivery
- Create clear product documentation to support development (PRDs, briefs, workflows, user stories)
- Ensure the team stays aligned on scope, tradeoffs, and what “done” looks like
- Track execution progress, flag risks early, and drive tasks to completion
Customer & Market Discovery
- Join customer calls and interviews to understand workflows and pain points
- Research competitors and industry trends to identify opportunities and differentiation
- Synthesize insights into clear product recommendations and opportunity briefs
- Partner with Customer Success, Support, and Sales to translate feedback into action
Support Product Delivery & Quality
- Assist with testing (QA), validation, and rollout readiness
- Help identify risks early (compliance, workflow, usability, edge cases)
- Coordinate cross-functional input so features land smoothly and correctly
- Work with the team to ensure new features deliver real value and adoption
Data + Feedback → Continuous Improvement
- Track customer feedback, usage patterns, and support ticket trends
- Help define success metrics (adoption, drop-off points, customer outcomes)
- Identify friction points and propose improvements backed by evidence
Launch & Enablement
- Support feature rollouts with release notes, internal enablement, and customer messaging
- Help ensure internal teams understand what’s changing and how to support customers
- Gather post-launch feedback and recommend improvements
What You’re Likely to Work On
This role can touch multiple areas depending on priorities, including:
- FinTech experiences (payments, gamification, compliance workflows, financial operations)
- Workforce workflows (HR products, employee engagement and management)
- Reporting, dashboards, and insights
- AI-driven experiences and automation
- Customer onboarding and product adoption improvements
What We’re Looking For
You’ll Do Well If You Are:
- Highly organized with strong follow-through (you track progress and close loops)
- Comfortable working with engineering teams and pushing for clarity
- Able to write clear product requirements and documentation
- Proactive and not afraid to ask questions or surface issues early
- Excited to work across time zones with globally distributed teams
- Customer-oriented and willing to do discovery directly with users, product training and validation
- Analytical — you can turn messy inputs into structured insights
Experience That Helps (not all required):
- 0–2 years in product, operations, consulting, analytics, customer success, fintech, or SaaS
- Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, Figma, Google Sheets
- Strong communication and writing skills (clear docs, summaries, requirements)
- Bonus: SQL, analytics tools, payments/compliance exposure, or startup experience
