The Product Analyst provides critical insights into client experience and application health. This person is

responsible for interpreting a variety of inputs to provide insights to the product team and act as a champion for

the end user. This person will work closely with the Category Leader to ensure that strategic vision is informed by

the voice of the customer. A successful Product Analyst must have a talent for collaboration, an ability to

ruthlessly prioritize and the ability to find the unmet need in a user request.
