Location: 100% Remote – USA

Duration: Contract-to-Hire – W2 Contract
Schedule: 40 hours per week

Position Overview

The Information Management team supports reliable operation and continuous improvement of enterprise platforms that enable privacy-focused technology and workflows across the organization. The team focuses on ensuring systems supporting data handling, consent, and access-related processes operate predictably, scale responsibly, and provide clear, accurate outputs to the teams who rely on them.

The Information Analyst is responsible for the effective operation and continuous improvement of enterprise platforms and application workflows, ensuring processes are clearly defined, data inputs meet established quality standards, and system behaviors align with business and technical expectations.

• Lead functional and regression validation efforts for platform updates, ensuring alignment between expected and actual system behavior
• Evaluate and document system outcomes against defined expectations, identifying gaps, risks, and areas requiring remediation
• Identify patterns in recurring issues, conduct root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions in partnership with technical teams to improve system reliability
• Own the development, quality, and lifecycle of user-facing documentation that defines system processes, workflows, and expected behaviors
• Establish and maintain standards for documentation structure, clarity, and accessibility across internal knowledge repositories
• Serve as a subject matter expert on platform functionality and workflow design, advising stakeholders and providing guidance on system capabilities and requirements
• Define and communicate integration and testing expectations, ensuring alignment across cross-functional teams
• Manage traceability across workflows, requirements, tickets, and releases to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the development lifecycle
• Own release readiness from a documentation and validation perspective, ensuring all required materials, evidence, and configurations meet defined standards prior to deployment
• Author and approve release communications, ensuring stakeholders are informed of relevant changes and impacts
• Oversee post-release issue identification and resolution, ensuring remediation efforts are prioritized and completed effectively
• Provide formal validation sign-off for platform releases, including identifying conditions under which releases should not proceed

Continuous Improvement (5%)

• Identify, prioritize, and drive initiatives that streamline processes, reduce operational friction, and improve platform effectiveness
• Evaluate workflows and documentation practices to determine improvement opportunities and implement solutions with measurable impact
• Assess and apply AI-enabled tools to enhance analytical efficiency, documentation quality, and validation approaches, exercising judgment to ensure responsible and effective use

Decision-Making & Scope of Authority

This role exercises independent judgment and discretion in matters of significance related to platform behavior, validation standards, and release readiness. The Information Analyst is responsible for defining functional expectations, establishing validation approaches, and making recommendations that are relied upon by engineering, product, and operational teams.

The Analyst has the authority to:
• Establish and enforce standards for workflow definition, validation, and documentation
• Approve or reject configuration changes based on alignment with defined system behavior and quality criteria
• Determine readiness for release from a validation and documentation perspective, including identifying and escalating risks that may block deployment
• Recommend and implement process improvements that materially impact platform reliability, data quality, and operational efficiency

This role operates with limited oversight in its area of responsibility and is accountable for decisions that influence system integrity, downstream operations, and user experience.
