Analyst Sr Lead, Business Systems Analysis

Business Operations Specialist

As a Business Operations Specialist, you will play a critical role in supporting Capital Markets portfolio leaders by driving execution, efficiency, and scalability across the business. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, product, sales, technology, finance, and delivery—ensuring the organization operates with disciplined planning, transparent reporting, and measurable outcomes. You will also provide core business management support, including coordinating governance routines, tracking financial and resource inputs (e.g., budgets, forecasts, headcount), applying finance and accounting fundamentals to interpret performance (e.g., P&L drivers, cost variances, capitalization vs. expense, revenue recognition considerations), and partnering with commercial and sales stakeholders to support revenue visibility (e.g., pipeline inputs, bookings/ARR reporting, and performance readouts). You will interact regularly with senior executives and portfolio leadership—helping them make decisions through crisp, fact-based materials and clear recommendations. Depending on the initiative, there may also be a client-facing element—supporting preparation for client discussions and translating internal progress into clear, client-ready updates.

You will join the FIS Capital Markets Strategy team, which partners with senior leaders across the Capital Markets portfolio to shape priorities, build fact-based investment narratives, and drive alignment on execution. The team supports planning and governance rhythms by consolidating inputs across product, technology, finance, and commercial stakeholders, translating complex portfolio, operational, and financial information into clear, executive-ready materials. A core focus is ensuring strategic initiatives and funding requests are grounded in specific, measurable rationale—connecting roadmap commitments, delivery capacity, and client and market needs to outcomes, including revenue growth and sales enablement priorities.

• Support client-facing preparation as needed (e.g., coordinating inputs for client meetings, drafting or quality-checking client-ready status updates, and ensuring follow-ups are tracked to closure)
• Perform ad hoc analysis to support leadership decisions (portfolio health, financial performance, operational metrics) and propose data-backed recommendations

What You Will Need

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
