Your work will drive tangible outcomes for control quality, operational resilience, and regulatory alignment across your supported business domain.

Responsibilities

• Execute and oversee tasks within the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) program, ensuring accurate completion of annual, semi-annual, quarterly, and monthly review cycles.
• Identify, analyze, and assess potential risks across the business domain, prioritizing timely resolution of significant control gaps and operational issues.
• Lead the development and implementation of effective controls to mitigate identified risks, influencing stakeholders at all levels to embed sustainable solutions.
• Monitor and manage the remediation of control deficiencies, ensuring issues are resolved within required timeframes and in accordance with Citi's risk management framework.
• Guide risk and control owners through the complete risk management lifecycle, translating complex risk concepts into clear, actionable guidance for business teams.
• Champion a strong risk and control culture across supported areas, promoting compliance, operational excellence, and accountability in day-to-day business decisions.
• Support risk-related projects and initiatives, contributing non-financial risk and control expertise to cross-functional workstreams as required.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 5 to 8 years of experience in operational risk management, compliance risk management, audit, or a related control function within the financial services industry.
• Demonstrated ability to identify, measure, and manage key risks and controls, with hands-on experience designing and executing control frameworks.
• Clear understanding of compliance laws, rules, regulations, and industry best practices as they apply to financial institutions.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with a confirmed ability to engage and present effectively at senior management level.
• Ability to guide stakeholders through risk management processes, breaking down complex topics into clear, accessible terms for varied audiences.
• Critical thinking and problem-solving capability, with a proven ability to work through ambiguity and convert abstract risk concepts into concrete, actionable outcomes.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, combined with intellectual curiosity and an appetite for applying modern analytical and AI-enabled tools.
