Stefania Siragusa

I started my career at FIS through a university program after being recruited at a college career fair during my senior year. The recruiter reached out to me after I dropped a resume, and the rest was history. I began as a risk analyst, where I was able to help and build queries for our clients to make sure we were monitoring the risk properly. After about two years, I moved into my current role as a pricing analyst, where I get to reprice our customers yearly. My day-to-day varies depending on the time of year, whether we're in the beginning process of repricing, messaging, or implementing new rates. I look at our customers to make sure we're repricing them properly, keep our code up to date, and work to automate processes to make sure we're running as a well-oiled machine. I love how every few months is like a different little process, and it goes back into a full circle. I still have structure, but my day-to-day can always change, and I usually get little side projects here and there as well. When I started this field, I didn't know SQL, but from this job I've learned how to do SQL and actually really enjoy it, even though in college I didn't want a career doing SQL. My most notable achievement has been my reprice project. A co-worker handed this off to me when she was leaving, and I was able to rebuild it so it now runs automatically. I can reprice customers very easily, and unless there are a few little quirks I have to fix, it runs perfectly. My goal is to move up in my field and take on more responsibility, expanding beyond just North America to other regions in the world, while continuing to develop my SQL skills and staying involved in my community.
