FIS ALS Business Analyst

FIS ALS Business Analyst

About the role

We are hiring a Business Analyst to support and evolve a major lending platform built on FIS ALS. You will own the analysis that turns business need into deliverable, well-governed change across the lending lifecycle — from requirement elicitation through functional/technical specification and into test and release.

You will be the bridge between Product Management, Product Owners, Scrum Teams, business users and leadership.

Responsibilities

Business analysis

·       Gather and document business requirements from stakeholders.

·       Run workshops, interviews and requirement elicitation sessions.

·       Analyse current- and future-state lending processes.

·       Produce Business Requirement Documents (BRD), Functional Requirement Documents (FRD) and user stories.

·       Define acceptance criteria and business rules.

FIS ALS functional analysis

·       Understand and analyse ALS functionality across Loan Origination, Loan Servicing, Commercial Lending, Credit Facilities, Collateral Management, and Customer & Facility Management.

·       Configure ALS parameters (incl. PARMS) to business requirements.

·       Analyse the impact of changes on existing lending processes.

·       Support ALS upgrade and enhancement initiatives.

Technical business analysis

·       Prepare detailed functional and technical specifications.

·       Analyse system interfaces and data flows.

·       Work with developers on API integrations, batch processing, file-based interfaces, and data mapping & transformation.

·       Support solution design discussions.

Essential skills

·       Proven Business Analyst experience in banking / lending (loan origination and/or servicing, commercial lending, credit).

·       Hands-on exposure to FIS ALS — ideally modules such as Servicing Manager, PARMS configuration, Escrow, Loan Origination or Loan Servicing.

·       Strong BA craft: BRD/FRD, user stories, acceptance criteria, current/future-state process mapping.

·       Requirements elicitation via workshops and stakeholder interviews.

·       Ability to specify interfaces, batch, file-based feeds and data mapping between ALS, Core Banking and Treasury.

·       Comfortable querying data for validation (e.g. SQL / Foxtrot queries, RDBMS concepts).

Desirable

·       Experience across tiered environments (Dev / Test / UAT / Pre-Prod / Production / DR).

·       Delivery of regulatory / compliance-driven lending change.

·       Awareness of the mainframe stack underpinning ALS (COBOL / JCL / DB2 / CICS / Coolgen) — enough to converse with developers.

·       Prior work on ALS upgrades, patches or vendor (FIS) releases.

What we offer

·       Long-term engagement on a high-visibility lending transformation.

·       Hybrid (Dublin) or remote-first nearshore working.

·       Competitive day rate (aligned to channel and discussed on application).
