• Familiarity with financial services or ability to adapt from other industries.
• Excellent negotiation, problem-solving, conflict management, and time management skills.
• Resilience, discretion, and persistence to manage long-term projects with setbacks.
• Business-level fluency in German and English for leading complex stakeholder meetings.

At FIS, you can learn, grow and make an impact in your career.
