A techno-functional consultant is required to support and evolve a major bank lending platform built on FIS ALS, currently undergoing mainframe modernisation. The role sits with the ALS development team. You will turn business need into specifications a mainframe developer can build from, and tests that prove the change behaved as specified. The work is inside the system: tracing why an account behaved as it did, identifying the parameter driving it, verifying overnight cycle output, and reconciling what ALS sends downstream against what arrives. This is a hands-on technical role, not a coordination role. Requirements Essential skills Hands-on FIS ALS experience.

Requirements elicitation through workshops and stakeholder interviews. Ability to specify interfaces, batch processing, file-based feeds and data mapping between ALS, core banking and treasury systems. SQL and RDBMS concepts, sufficient to validate your own analysis. Experience delivering regulatory and compliance-driven lending change. Experience across tiered environments: Dev, Test, UAT, Pre-Production, Production and DR. Desirable Prior work on ALS upgrades, patches or FIS vendor releases. Experience on a mainframe modernisation or platform migration programme. Key responsibilities Business and functional analysis Gather and document business requirements from stakeholders. Run workshops, interviews and requirement elicitation sessions. Analyse current- and future-state lending processes. Produce BRDs, FRDs and user stories, with acceptance criteria and business rules. ALS platform analysis Analyse ALS functionality across loan servicing, escrow, default management and customer account management. Assess the impact of proposed changes on existing lending processes and downstream systems. Support ALS upgrade and enhancement initiatives. Technical analysis Prepare detailed functional and technical specifications for development. Analyse system interfaces and data flows. Work with developers on batch processing, file-based interfaces, integrations, and data mapping and transformation. Support solution design discussions and release activity through to production.
