Job Description

Are you curious, motivated, and forward-thinking? At FIS you’ll have the opportunity to work on some of the most challenging and relevant issues in financial services and technology. Our talented people empower us, and we believe in being part of a team that is open, collaborative, entrepreneurial, passionate and above all fun.

About the team

The Sales Operations team enables the end-to-end sales experience for all of the merchants in our high-growth Merchant business. We build and manage the tools and sales process used by the largest sales force in the industry to facilitate ~20%+ y-o-y growth across our $4B revenue business. We sit at the center of our commercial and functional teams to build the deal approval process in the complex and heavily regulated payments space and reduce the time to revenue for our payments products and services.

The team operates on an agile methodology to optimize the sales process, rapidly enable process enhancements through our own team of CRM developers, and then report out on sales performance for both executives and sales leaders. The interconnectivity of sales performance management with our underlying systems and processes allows the team to continuously adjust to changing commercial needs.

This year, our team is responsible for delivering on a large-scale Sales Operations transformation meant to bring our commercial teams together onto a single unified set of processes and tools, bringing the best from past acquisitions to set the strategy for future sales motions.

What you will be doing

You will manage a high-performing team through one of the largest sales strategy and process transformations in FIS’s history. You will set the strategy, devise the transformation roadmap, and structure your team to deliver on the program objectives. You will own senior cross-functional relationships to ensure the success of key strategic projects and ongoing success of the largest sales force in the payments industry.

You will lead the process unification for our Enterprise merchants, which include many of the largest and most well-known companies in the world (e.g., Google, Amazon, Disney). In this role, you will work closely with senior sales leaders and functional partners (e.g., Legal, Pricing) to ensure our efforts have the buy-in and adoption from across the organization.

You will be leading a team of 7-9 Sales Operations analysts, who each have their own projects to run and areas of specialization. You will provide guidance, feedback, and coaching to the team to ensure every team member is operating to the best of their ability, and set direction for the team to ensure all projects are operating in a coordinated manner.

  • Work with your team to drive innovation and put forward new growth ideas. Build business cases to seek funding as needed
  • Identify and track the KPIs best used to gauge process efficiency and diagnose issues. Deliver trackable improvements to key metrics in line with strategy
  • Build, maintain, and promote positive professional working relationships with senior leaders across various functions

What you bring:

  • 3-4 years in strategy consulting or a related field
  • 2+ years of people management, preferably in a large matrix organization; clear skills in coaching and developing more junior members of a team
  • Commercially focused, with a desire to drive great outcomes for the business

  • Excellent organizational skills; able to coordinate across multiple projects and stay on top of details
  • Strong analytical skills; able to translate targets into tangible process improvements
  • Clear, proactive communicator (both written and verbal); able to listen and work well with others while being confident and assertive where required
  • Quick ability to learn new and potentially technical topics, and then communicate this technical detail in a clear and simple way to a range of audiences
  • Clearly demonstrated ability to build and leverage strong networks, both internally and externally
  • A degree from a good university

Added bonus if you have:

  • Technical expertise in payments products or other highly regulated industries
  • Familiarity with Salesforce as a CRM system (technical knowledge not required)
  • Experience in a cross-functional role requiring alignment across different senior parties in a global organization.
