Job Overview

About the Team

This role sits within Citi's Procurement and Third-Party Management (P&TPM) function — a critical part of Citi's First Line of Defense. The team holds end-to-end responsibility, accountability, and authority for designing and executing Citi's Source to Contract (S2C) process, governing how Citi engages with external third parties for goods and services globally.

The team operates at the intersection of strategic sourcing, contract management, supplier relationship management, and risk — working closely with business stakeholders, Legal, Compliance, and Finance to ensure Citi gets the best value from its supplier base while maintaining the highest standards of risk and control.

Beyond sourcing, the team also defines and oversees Citi's Third-Party Management Programmed — identifying, managing, and reporting on third-party risk across the organization to protect Citi's clients, assets, and reputation.

How This Role Fits Within Citi

The Program Management Intermediate Analyst is a developing professional embedded in the sourcing team, contributing directly to Citi's ability to engage suppliers compliantly, efficiently, and strategically. As a key participant in the S2C process, you will support Sourcing Managers and Business Activity Owners (BAOs) across the full contracting lifecycle — from strategy development and competitive events through to contract execution and ongoing administration.

This is a high-visibility role that interfaces with multiple functions — including Legal, Compliance, Technology, Finance, and business units — making it an excellent platform for building deep procurement expertise and broad institutional knowledge of how a global bank operates.

Key Projects & Strategic Priorities

The P&TPM function is in the midst of a significant transformation, and this role will play an active part in delivering against Citi's key strategic priorities:

• Regulatory Compliance: Achieving full compliance with global and local regulatory mandates (including OCC and FCA requirements) through rigorous process adherence and audit readiness
• Platform Modernization: Supporting the migration and adoption of new sourcing and contracting platforms as part of Citi's procurement technology transformation
• Operational Efficiency: Reducing manual touchpoints, improving controls, and streamlining end-to-end contract management processes through automation and process redesign
• Issues Remediation: Shifting from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk prevention through enhanced monitoring and early detection of control gaps
• Financial Transformation: Contributing to global financial standardization by supporting the integration of procurement systems with Citi's strategic ledgers and vendor platforms

• Execute sourcing and contracting tasks end-to-end with accuracy, compliance, and minimal supervision
• Build strong relationships with key internal stakeholders — including Legal, Compliance, and Business Activity Owners — becoming a trusted point of contact for contracting queries
• Demonstrate a proactive approach to risk identification, escalating issues transparently and proposing practical solutions
• Contribute to at least one process improvement or efficiency initiative within the team
