Structured Notes are an invaluable tool for funding and derivative revenues within Citi, and this exciting front office structuring role within the Global Markets Issuance team is seeking an experienced individual with a breadth of relevant experience to help develop and enhance our market leading structured notes business. This role will work alongside senior Sales and Trading stakeholders in the notes issuing business and will partner very closely with first and second line functions. It is envisaged this role would work on all aspects of the Notes businesses; at the intersection of client needs and product trends, treasury requirements and constraints, and associated liquidity dynamics.

The role requires someone with a strong track record across derivative markets, who understand the dynamics having worked in either a Corporate Treasury or Markets role, with a successful track record of managing and influencing stakeholders. This role will appeal to an innovative thinker, who is able to deliver change through challenging the status quo and unconventional thinking, based on a deep knowledge of/ability and desire to learn pricing processes/policies within a commercial setting, whilst adhering to the highest risk management and governance standards.

What you will do will be varied day to day, but the key drivers for the role are:

  • Liaising with Sales and Structuring on discussions relating to pricing, issuance capacity, buybacks, and the restructuring of Citi issued structured notes.

  • Leading the dialogue with internal partners across Markets and Treasury in relation to best-in-class pricing, reporting, tenor profile, product diversification and maturity concentration frameworks.

  • Drive the issuance vehicle strategy from a front office perspective, ensuring consistency with resolution plans and no disruption to issuance activity from upcoming rules and regulations.

  • Coordinate with other asset classes within Global Markets Issuance (GMI) to ensure the most profitable transactions are prioritised and executed on.

  • Managing the multiple (and often) competing constraints relating to Liquidity Coverage Ration (LCR), Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), Internal Liquidity Stress Testing (ILST), Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIB) Risk Weighted Averages (RWA), and Stress loss from a front office issuance perspective in partnership with Treasury and second line functions

What we will need from you:

  • Extensive Markets and/or Corporate Treasury experience in an issuance/liquidity set up, with a proven track record and extensive knowledge of end-to-end process flows for Markets Trading and/or Treasury.

  • A Track record of directing change processes in both process and technology.

  • An ability to demonstrate success in managing senior executive communications across internal stakeholders and being able to produce clear and concise written and verbal communication.

  • The capacity to influence and inspire confidence in partners within Markets businesses.

  • Working to high standards and a strong self-driven work ethic, inspiring respect and trust through competent and confident leadership.
