The Role
As an Innovation Strategy Analyst, you work upstream of product development to shape high-impact opportunities. You partner closely with client-facing teams and internal stakeholders to identify, define, and prioritize use cases, content needs, and feature opportunities.
In this role, you lead structured discovery efforts, translating complex and often ambiguous business needs into clear, actionable inputs that inform product direction. You operate at the intersection of business, marketing, and product focusing on problem framing, opportunity identification, and prioritization rather than detailed requirements or delivery execution.
You are energized by working in a fast-paced, evolving environment and enjoy bringing clarity, structure, and alignment to complex challenges.
The Team
The Innovation Strategy Analyst is part of the Thought Leadership Innovation & Enablement team within Marketing. The team focuses on improving how insights, research, and content scale across the organization through better processes, tools, and technology.
This role works closely with Product, Technology, and client-facing teams, serving as a bridge between business needs and product execution. You will partner with Product Business Analysts and development teams, providing high-level, structured inputs that inform backlog and roadmap decisions.

- Strong facilitation skills with the ability to lead working sessions and engage subject matter experts effectively
- Ability to synthesize diverse inputs into clear, structured outputs (use cases, workflows, summaries)
- Experience documenting business needs and processes at a high level
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including ability to assess tradeoffs and prioritize effectively
- Ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear, actionable inputs for product teams
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to create concise, compelling materials
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously
- Skilled at building relationships and influencing stakeholders across all levels
- Familiarity with AI concepts or emerging technologies is a plus
- Experience in workplace benefits or financial services is a plus
The Value You Deliver
- Lead discovery sessions with client-facing teams to identify and define high-value use cases
- Facilitate working sessions to capture workflows, business needs, and opportunities
- Translate inputs into structured artifacts, including use cases, process flows, and opportunity summaries
- Identify required content sources, dependencies, and key inputs to support use cases
- Define high-level feature and capability needs, including prioritization of critical vs. iterative enhancements
- Assess and articulate business impact through directional value and tradeoff analysis
- Drive alignment across stakeholders by clearly framing problems, opportunities, and recommended paths forward
- Support prioritization by synthesizing business need, value, and feasibility considerations
- Create and maintain standardized frameworks and approaches to scale discovery and prioritization efforts
- Develop clear materials to communicate findings, recommendations, and progress to stakeholders
- Partner closely with Product teams to transition work from discovery into execution
