About

Hi! I’m Polyana Paiva — a results-driven Senior Product & Business Analyst with 7+ years of experience helping global organizations build better digital products through strategic analysis, user-centric thinking, and cross-functional collaboration.

My career has been focused on turning complexity into clarity. I specialize in aligning business needs with technology solutions, leading agile teams, and delivering high-impact results through well-structured product and project strategies. I’ve worked with startups, scale-ups, and large enterprises across industries, helping to define and manage product roadmaps, gather and translate business requirements, and ensure continuous delivery of value.

As a freelancer, I bring flexibility, transparency, and a deep understanding of how to work remotely with globally distributed teams. I’m fluent in English and Portuguese, and I have extensive experience working asynchronously and using tools like Jira, Confluence, Figma, Miro, Notion, and Productboard. Whether it's backlog grooming, sprint planning, or mapping customer journeys, I help teams stay aligned, focused, and moving forward.

A few of my key strengths:

  • Deep expertise in Agile methodologies and functional governance
  • Strong communicator and facilitator between tech, business, and UX teams
  • Skilled in data-driven decision-making and reporting with tools like Power BI and Google Analytics
  • Passionate about problem-solving, process optimization, and building scalable solutions

I thrive in dynamic environments where priorities shift quickly and innovation is constant. I'm not just here to "gather requirements" — I’m here to challenge assumptions, ask the right questions, and ensure we’re solving the right problems in the right way.

If you're looking for a proactive and reliable partner to support your digital initiatives, streamline product operations, or bridge the gap between business and tech, I’d love to connect.

Let’s build something great together.
