We are seeking a Senior Product Technical Analyst to play a critical role in defining and delivering complex functionality across our enterprise Offender Management System (OMS) platform.

- Support internal demonstrations and contribute to product documentation and release materials
- Ensure transparency and traceability of requirement changes throughout the product lifecycle
Continuous Improvement
- Contribute to improving product management practices related to requirements definition, documentation standards, and delivery processes
- Help drive consistency and quality across functional analysis and documentation efforts
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in product analysis, business analysis, software requirements, or related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience defining requirements or functional workflows for enterprise software applications.
- Demonstrated ability to write clear, structured functional requirements, detailed use cases, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
- Advanced experience defining workflows, rule-driven logic, and system behaviors for complex software features.
- Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills with exceptional attention to detail.
- Experience working within Agile software development environments using tools such as JIRA and Confluence.
