Product Analyst

Product Analyst
Overview
The Product Analyst – Legacy Platform Modernization supports an assessment, requirements, solutioning, and AI-enabled prototyping effort to modernize a federal client's legacy loan servicing platform, migrate its capabilities to a modern enterprise platform, and plan the full decommissioning of the legacy environment. Working with the product lead and product managers, the analyst performs current-state analysis, stakeholder interviews, process mapping, capability assessments, and gap analysis; facilitates requirements workshops; and documents functional and non-functional requirements, business rules, and future-state processes for each loan servicing capability. The analyst maps integrations, dependencies, and data flows from source to screen, supports legacy function disposition analysis and evaluation of modernization and decommissioning alternatives, and contributes to AI-assisted analysis and prototyping. Success requires excellent written and verbal communication, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the ability to shift priorities, leadership amid ambiguity, and proficiency with the Microsoft Suite.
