Company mission
FISPAN's mission is to help banks easily connect with their corporate clients.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in business analysis, product, integration or payments roles — experience with bank connectivity highly preferred
- Deep working knowledge of payment and connectivity standards: ISO 20022 / ISO XML, NACHA, IFX and common flat-file formats
- Hands-on familiarity with SFTP, TLS/certificates, encryption, REST APIs, OAuth and mock/test infrastructures (e.g., Montebank)
- Proven experience running bank certification programs and coordinating bank UAT cycles
- Strong experience with Agile delivery: JIRA, backlog management, DoR enforcement
- Comfortable with test automation concepts, CI/CD and GitHub-based test artifacts
- Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to negotiate technical and operational trade-offs with senior bank counterparts
- Strong analytical skills (SQL or analytics tools such as Qlik/Tableau) and technical troubleshooting (JSON/XML, Postman, logs)
Desirable
- Experience with ERP/accounting system integrations
- Familiarity with regulatory/security requirements for financial integrations (PII, vendor assessments)
- Prior experience in product or program leadership at a SaaS company
- Degree in business, finance, computer science or related field; relevant industry certifications
What the job involves
- FISPAN is seeking a Senior Business Analyst to own Payments & Bank Connectivity for multiple dedicated bank partners
- This is a senior, product-adjacent role with end-to-end ownership — from commercial and technical onboarding, through scoping and engineering delivery, to certification, go-live and post-launch activities
- You’ll be the primary liaison between bank partners and FISPAN’s Engineering, QA, PMO and Support teams, and you’ll influence the platform strategy for scaling safe, reusable connectivity
- Why this role matters: bank integrations are core to our product value
- The Senior BA ensures partner success, mitigates operational risk, and helps shape which capabilities become platform features versus partner-specific
- If you enjoy technical problem solving, negotiating with external partners, and driving rigorous testing and certification, this role is for you
- Act as FISPAN’s single technical/business lead for assigned bank partners
- Translate commercial commitments and bank requirements into detailed Scoping Documents, data mappings, transformation rules, interface diagrams, and E2E test plans
- Produce and maintain JIRA epics/stories with clear, testable Given/When/Then acceptance criteria; ensure Definition of Ready (functional test cases in GitHub) is enforced
- Coordinate design reviews with Technical Bank SMEs, Architecture and Engineering; document and manage platform vs bank-specific exceptions
- Lead certification and UAT with banks: coordinate QA E2E automation, manage sandbox/mocks (Montebank/SFTP) and secure certification sign-off
- Validate production readiness: runbooks, monitoring/alerting, key/certificate lifecycle management, rollback plans and support handover
- Own incident escalation and post-mortems for assigned connectors; drive durable remediation
- Champion BA/connectivity standards and reusable artifacts; mentor junior BAs and raise the team’s capability
Our take
Small/medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have come under heightened operational pressure over recent years. It’s no help that this group has historically been radically underserved by legacy banks, but now the tide is turning: many banking institutions are doubling down on improving the quality and efficiency of their commercial banking solutions, and software company FISPAN is helping them get there.
FISPAN helps companies embed their commercial banking services into the existing ERP or accounting software used by their customers to run businesses. It’s a great way for banks to outsource the level of innovation required to keep up with commercial client demand - and, therefore, a great way of competing with the more agile neobanks, who are siphoning off legacy banking clients in substantial numbers.
FISPAN’s astute positioning has made its platform increasingly attractive for banks under pressure to keep up with the breakneck pace of change in fintech. It’s taking advantage of it too, with plans to expand to the lucrative European and Asian Pacific banking markets, and accelerated product development fuelled by 2025's Series B round of funding.
