Job Description

Citi is seeking a highly motivated attorney to join a newly created role within Citis Legal Department, as part of the Legal team supporting the Transformation Program Groups. This role will advise and support the execution and implementation of Citis enterprise-wide risk management and control transformation efforts, focused in particular on the Compliance and Capital & Liquidity Transformation Program Groups. The attorney will report into the Citi Bank Regulatory Legal Group.

There are seven core program groups (Accountability and Culture; Enterprise Wide Risk and Controls; Data; Compliance; Capital & Liquidity; Critical Business Processes, and Management Effectiveness in Board Interactions). The candidate will be expected to provide legal support, coordination, challenge, and advice to program group management and participants, including the relevant Institutional Clients Group and the Global Consumer Group businesses and functions with roles/responsibilities therein. The candidate will identify, analyze, and/or interpret U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations, and provide both general and specific legal advice as each program group executes and implements Citis transformation efforts.

The role will also interact with members of the Legal Central Transformation Group, working in close coordination and collaboration with that Group, as well as with other with Legal Department colleagues (including lawyers within other groups that will be handling specific regulatory remediation and other transformation tasks) by, among other things, providing legal advice concerning specific transformation deliverables, design and execution-related interdependencies, and related risk and control projects and initiatives.

The role will also work closely with members from the Chief Administrative Officer team, providing legal advice in support of efforts to drive consistent approaches, processes, standards, and governance across enterprise-wide transformation and related remediation efforts. The role will need to identify and understand legal issues arising out of program management and program group projects as the execution and implementation of firm-wide solutions are carried out.

The role is expected to partner with third-party resources supporting the program groups, such as outside counsel and management consultants. The role is also expected to provide sound judgment and guidance in connection with Citis responses to, and ongoing dialogue with, U.S. bank regulatory agencies.
