Role
Who you are

- Attention to detail: Ability to dig into the details to ensure solutions are accurate, complete, and contextually aligned with product and regulatory requirements

- Technical fluency: Comfortable reviewing API documentation, interpreting JSON data, and applying that understanding to guide product decisions
- Strong communicator: Able to clearly articulate technical and complex concepts to a range of audiences
- Comfortable with ambiguity: Makes thoughtful decisions about scope, tradeoffs, and priorities with minimal direction

What the job involves
- As a Product Analyst on the Business Identity Solutions (BIS) team, you’ll help define the future of how businesses are verified and understood through data
- You’ll play a key role in bridging engineering, product, and go-to-market functions to deliver data products that give our customers a comprehensive view of business identity
- This is a high-ownership, cross-functional role that combines product thinking, data strategy, and deep investigative research to uncover opportunities and launch impactful business data solutions
- You’ll lead initiatives end-to-end: from discovery and scoping to implementation and scale
- This includes evaluating new data sources, navigating compliance nuances, and aligning internal teams to drive execution
- Success in this role requires a strong curiosity to understand how business data is modeled, sourced, and structured in different countries, and the ability to turn that complexity into consistent, intuitive product experiences that work across global markets
- Drive the development of new business data products, with a focus on data quality, coverage, and long-term scalability
- Research and evaluate third-party data sources, regulatory frameworks, and global registry systems to uncover new opportunities and assess feasibility
- Collaborate across engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to scope, build, and launch new data products
- Shape and support the roadmap for global data coverage
