Senior Product Analyst - Donor and Graft Sourcing

POSITION SUMMARY: Help build the future of product strategy at NMDP. As a Senior Product Analyst, you'll dig into our donor and graft-sourcing product portfolios, combining operational, financial, customer, and market insights to guide product investment and lifecycle decisions. You'll collaborate with cross-functional experts to identify opportunities, track performance, and recommend what to improve, expand, or rethink. If you're a curious, adaptable self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys turning insights into action, this could be the role for you. The Senior Product Analyst helps product teams make data-informed, market-aware, user-centered, and financially grounded decisions across cellular therapy, service, software, and platform products. Embedded in the Product organization, this role partners with Product Managers, Product Owners, UX, Operations, Technology, Analytics, Finance, Commercial, and other cross-functional stakeholders to clarify needs, assess opportunities, shape product decisions, support go-to-market readiness, and measure outcomes that improve product performance and advance mission impact.
