Business Senior Analyst - Data & Governance

Citi is looking for a Business Senior Analyst - Data & Governance to play a central role in shaping the data, analytical, and governance foundations that drive vendor management, commercial negotiations, and technology financial decisions across the business. Sitting within a team focused on vendor strategy and commercial management, this role ensures that high-quality, reliable data is available at every stage of financial planning and contract outcomes. If you are motivated by turning complex datasets into clear business insights, running key governance forums that rely on those insights, and want your analysis to directly influence strategic decisions at a global financial institution, this is the opportunity for you.

  • Deliver data-driven insights that support cost analysis, budgeting activities, and negotiation strategies across vendor and sourcing teams.
  • Evaluate technology-related expenditures, including hardware and software, to surface financial trends, risks, and opportunities for the business.
  • Develop reports, dashboards, and executive-ready presentations that translate complex data into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders.
  • Define data requirements in partnership with finance, sourcing, and technology teams to improve the usability and reliability of information across functions.
  • Support data governance processes that maintain the accuracy, consistency, and integrity of data used by vendor management teams.
  • Contribute to the design and continuous improvement of processes that strengthen transparency, traceability, and governance of technology infrastructure data.
  • Apply analytical tools and emerging technologies, including AI, to increase the efficiency and depth of analysis delivered to the business.
  • Providing data for, running, and administering vendor management oversight and governance forums.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
