At PrismHR, we're excited to grow and evolve our industry-leading ExecuPay platform to meet customer needs and win in the market. This begins with the continued expansion of our Shared Technology and Product Management team.

One area of growth is the Product Analyst function within the team, complementing Product Managers and Designers to ensure Engineering receives the right level of detail needed for successful execution. As a Product Analyst, you will effectively take on responsibilities that overlap traditional Business Analyst and Product Owner positions.

We view the Product Analyst role as critically important to building a better product and essential to powering our platform modernization efforts into the future.

AI is a standard part of how our product team works. We use it to draft user stories and PRDs, build prototypes, synthesize customer feedback, and conduct market research. AI accelerates drafting and analysis, while product judgment drives the final decisions.

SPECIFIC DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

A successful candidate will be highly organized and detail-oriented, working closely with a delivery team to ensure the "what" and "why" are clearly understood so the team can formulate the technical "how."

• Primary function of the Product Analyst role is to support the Product Manager by providing product coverage and assisting with tactical activities related to the ExecuPay team.
• Partner with Product Managers to develop User Stories to a "Ready for Development" state, using AI tools to draft stories and acceptance criteria while reviewing all output for accuracy before it reaches the team.
• Use AI tools to help draft Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and specifications with the Product Manager.
• Build rapid prototypes with AI tools to test concepts with customers and stakeholders before engineering resources are committed.
• Partner with Product Managers and UX teams during discovery to capture requirements and translate business and customer needs into a prioritized product backlog (Epic User Stories Acceptance Criteria).
• Use AI to synthesize client feedback, enhancement requests, support signals, and product usage data (Pendo or similar platforms) into themes that inform prioritization.
• Support regular competitive and market analysis across the HCM landscape using AI-assisted research.
• Partner with Product Managers on backlog health and maintenance, including consistent Jira metadata to ensure AI tools and reporting operate from accurate data.
• Partner with Product Managers with research and validation of reported issues.
• Partner with Product Managers and the development team by providing subject matter expertise related to Payroll and HR.
• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and maintain close coordination with Development and QA teams to ensure acceptance criteria are met.
• Maintain close coordination with parallel Shared Technology delivery teams to drive cross-team collaboration, awareness, and communication of product overlap.
• Partner with Product Managers and the Technical Documentation team to ensure product changes are clearly defined and communicated.
• Serve as a liaison between product teams and Support/Professional Services teams to help triage issues and identify opportunities for product enhancements.
• Provide support for other delivery teams within the Shared Technology department on special projects and business initiatives as needed.
