Job Overview

About CITI

Citi's mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress. We have 200+ years of experience helping our clients meet the world's toughest challenges and embrace its greatest opportunities.

About AIM:

Analytics and Information Management (AIM) is a global community that is driving data driven transformation across Citi in multiple functions with the objective to create actionable intelligence for our business leaders. We are a fast-growing organization working with Citi businesses and functions across the world.

What do we do:

We have one formula for managing risk across the firm: our Enterprise Risk Management Framework. This consistency enables us to take an end-to-end view in how we identify, measure, build, control and report risks. We are also working to simplify, streamline and automate our manual controls—strengthening our ability to prevent issues, not just to detect them after they happen. When issues do appear, we should strive to understand the root cause. We can then apply those lessons-learned horizontally across the organization to prevent similar issues from arising elsewhere.
