Markets In-Business Risk Lead Analyst, VP

Our Markets business serves corporates, institutional investors, and governments from trading floors in nearly 77 countries. Leveraging our leading underwriting, sales and trading, and distribution capabilities across Commodities, Equities, Rates, Spread Products, and Currencies, we are uniquely positioned to meet client needs with global scale and precision.

The successful candidate will join the In-Business Risk team within Citi Global Markets. This team forms a critical component of the first line of defense, responsible for establishing and maintaining a strong control environment that minimizes risk within the business. In-Business Risk leads critical initiatives to mitigate risks related to Trading, Financial Crimes, and Conduct, while ensuring strong governance to measure, monitor, manage, and escalate key risks.

The Volcker Rule Office (VRO) is a first line function that provides centralized coordination and monitoring in support of Citi’s Volcker Compliance Program. The team maintains the central control framework and partners closely with Business, Independent Risk Management, Compliance, Legal, Finance, and other key functions.

The VRO oversees core processes and controls related to desk structure, desk mandates, trading and hedging strategies, products, limits, covered funds, and regulatory metrics reporting to Volcker Regulators. As a member of the VRO, you will help deliver integrated solutions supporting Citi’s global Volcker Rule compliance program and other regulatory deliverables.

While responsibilities may evolve based on business needs, key activities for this role include:

• Successfully deliver projects and BAU activities aligned with the Markets In‑Business Risk book of work for the Volcker Rule Program.

• Assist with the production, review, and distribution of Volcker Metrics for internal stakeholders and regulatory reporting.

• Investigate and resolve Volcker-related issues and exceptions by coordinating with trading desks, Legal, Finance, and Risk, ensuring timely and accurate updates in the central JIRA issue‑tracking platform.

• Manage the end‑to‑end Volcker regulatory narrative process—including drafting, editing, and coordinating senior management review.

• Partner with Technology to design and enhance sustainable solutions that strengthen controls and streamline or automate processes that support the Volcker Program.

• Identify, prioritize, and proactively manage Volcker compliance dependencies, risks, exceptions, and issues across workstreams.

• Represent the VRO in communications with Internal Audit, Independent Testing teams, and during external regulatory examinations, ensuring demonstration of ongoing compliance.

• 5+ years of relevant experience.

• Strong understanding of financial products and markets, with the ability to analyze data and identify key issues.

• Demonstrated ability to work proactively under tight deadlines across multiple workstreams.

• Ability to manage shifting requirements, anticipate stakeholder needs, and balance competing priorities.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to tailor messaging to diverse audiences.
