Job Overview

The Legal Support Lead Officer is a senior level, non-attorney role, responsible for providing legal support to the Citi Legal team. The Regulatory Change Identification Lead (“ID Lead”) will serve as the primary party for monitoring Regulatory Changes (“RCs”) issued by regulatory authorities as defined in Regulations Management (RM) Scope in the RM Procedures. ID Leads will identify RCs through multiple channels including, but not limited to, monitoring websites, direct email notification from a regulator, and paper correspondence. Further, ID Leads will work with a third-party subscription service/vendor (via a law firm or aggregator services) to review the RCs identified by the vendor in the External Source Intake queue for assignment for applicability determinations. Upon identification of a RC, ID Leads will create RC records. In instances where an ID Lead is also the RCA (non-NAM jurisdictions), the ID Lead will preliminarily assess the RC to identify Global Assessment Units (“AUs”) that may be impacted by the RC and the associated ICRM Regulation Coverage Leads.

Responsibilities:

• Review LRRs identified by third-party subscription vendors and monitor assigned Regulatory Authorities to identify RCs in External Source Intake to disposition as applicable or not applicable.

In addition, Regulatory Changes that are initiated manually must be linked to the automated (CUBE) source record.

• For non-NAM jurisdictions where ID Leads and RCAs are the same person, identify and assign RC to potentially impacted AUs and their associated ICRM Regulation Coverage Leads.

• Timely execution of tasks in accordance with Metrics/KPIs due dates • Where they are the task owner or co-owner, escalate to relevant senior management where these tasks are expected to be and/or are in 'Overdue' status, in accordance with established, Program-defined governance and escalation protocols
