About the role..\n

A techno-functional consultant is required to support and evolve a major bank lending platform built on FIS ALS, currently undergoing mainframe modernisation.

\n

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.

\n

This is a hands‑on technical role, not a coordination role.

RequirementsEssential skills\n

\n
• Hands‑on FIS ALS experience. This is a hard requirement and cannot be substituted by general lending experience.
\n
• 8+ years' experience, the majority in mortgage or consumer lending — loan servicing, escrow, default management and collections.
\n
• Working knowledge of the mainframe stack underpinning ALS: COBOL, JCL, DB2, CICS.
\n
• Specification craft: Business Requirement Documents, Functional Requirement Documents, functional and technical specifications, acceptance criteria, current- and future-state process mapping.
\n
• Requirements elicitation through workshops and stakeholder interviews.
\n
• Ability to specify interfaces, batch processing, file‑based feeds and data mapping between ALS, core banking and treasury systems.
\n
• SQL and RDBMS concepts, sufficient to validate your own analysis.
\n
• Experience delivering regulatory and compliance‑driven lending change.
\n
• Experience across tiered environments: Dev, Test, UAT, Pre‑Production, Production and DR.
\n
• Prior work on ALS upgrades, patches or FIS vendor releases.
\n
• Experience on a mainframe modernisation or platform migration programme.
\n

Key responsibilitiesBusiness and functional analysis\n

• Gather and document business requirements from stakeholders.
\n
• Run workshops, interviews and requirement elicitation sessions.
\n
• Analyse current- and future-state lending processes.
\n
• Produce BRDs, FRDs and user stories, with acceptance criteria and business rules.
\n

ALS platform analysis\n

\n
• Analyse ALS functionality across loan servicing, escrow, default management and customer account management.
\n
• Assess the impact of proposed changes on existing lending processes and downstream systems.
\n
• Support ALS upgrade and enhancement initiatives.
\n

Technical analysis\n

\n
• Prepare detailed functional and technical specifications for development.
\n
• Analyse system interfaces and data flows.
\n
• Work with developers on batch processing, file‑based interfaces, integrations, and data mapping and transformation.
\n
• Support solution design discussions and release activity through to production.
\n

What we offer\n

\n
• Long-term engagement on a high‑visibility lending transformation programme.
\n
• Onsite/hybrid working in Dublin, or remote within Europe subject to client approval.
\n
• Which ALS modules you have worked in, and what you did in them.
\n
• Whose lending book it was.
\n
• Approximately which release the estate was on.
\n
• One change you specified end to end, including what went wrong with it.
\n
• Applications are reviewed against the covering note first.
