Help financial institutions transform enterprise risk across DACH

Financial institutions are under increasing pressure to modernise legacy risk infrastructure, respond to evolving regulatory expectations, integrate fragmented data and deliver faster, more reliable risk insight. At the same time, they must improve governance, reduce operational complexity and establish scalable risk capabilities across the organisation.

At FIS, we help banks, capital markets firms, asset managers, insurers, fintechs and other regulated financial institutions modernise how they manage credit, market, liquidity, operational, regulatory and enterprise risk.

You’ll engage senior stakeholders across Risk, Finance, Technology and Transformation, helping clients adopt unified, scalable risk infrastructure.

You’ll

• Win new clients and expand strategic accounts across Germany, Austria and Switzerland

This is consultative, value-based selling focused on helping clients modernise legacy systems, establish unified risk infrastructure, reduce cost and complexity, and respond more effectively to regulatory expectations.

How You’ll Do It

• Own and grow a high-value DACH sales pipeline, delivering against quarterly and annual revenue targets
• Develop and execute a territory strategy for Germany, Austria and Switzerland

• Collaborate with Product, Pre-Sales, Risk SMEs and Delivery teams to define solution scope, architecture and execution strategy
• Maintain accurate forecasting, CRM discipline and transparent pipeline management
• Represent FIS at risk summits, CRO forums, regulatory roundtables, conferences and client briefings
• Provide structured market and client insight to Product Strategy and senior leadership
