Enterprise Regulatory Engagement Team (ERET)
The Enterprise Regulatory Engagement Team (ERET) is dedicated to cultivating strong relationships with regulatory agencies globally and providing oversight of engagement activities. This involves direct and proactive communication with agencies' senior personnel and staff examiners concerning key supervisory initiatives, as well as promptly informing agencies of relevant matters. The team is responsible for managing all aspects of ongoing supervision and regulatory examinations, which includes coordinating internal stakeholders, preparing for regulatory visits, managing information requests, and facilitating constructive dialogue during the examination process. ERET leverages subject matter expertise to establish and execute Citi's regulatory strategy, providing ongoing advisory and communicating regulatory themes and emerging issues to Senior Management, the Executive Management Team, and the Board of Directors.
Role Summary
The COO Regulatory Engagement Advisory Team serves as a strategic partner to senior leadership, providing expert regulatory insight, supervisory intelligence, and forward-looking guidance across the organization. This Regulatory Engagement Advisory SVP will be a critical member of the team, responsible for managing global regulatory engagement with a primary focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
While AI represents a significant portion of the book of work, the role also supports engagements across the wider technology landscape. The successful candidate will act as a central point of expertise, managing AI-related RFIs, questionnaires, and examinations, while helping to shape the firm’s regulatory strategy and communications with supervisory authorities globally. Ultimately, this position ensures executive decision-making is informed by a deep understanding of the evolving regulatory landscape, supervisory priorities, and emerging thematic risks.
Key Responsibilities
- Advise and brief senior executives (EMT -1, -2 and EMT-3) on key regulatory themes, supervisory expectations, and exam outcomes.
- Interpret regulatory signals, supervisory feedback, and industry trends to identify emerging issues, systemic risks, and strategic implications.
- Develop and maintain the firm’s supervisory strategy, including frameworks for managing regulatory ratings, exam positioning, and issue escalation.
- Lead the critical review and challenge of regulatory submissions, correspondence, declarations, and formal responses.
- Manage executive positioning for upcoming regulatory reviews, including forward-looking exam preparation, advocacy opportunities, and supervisory relationship planning.
- Identify, develop, and escalate thematic issues arising from regulatory engagements across business units.
- Coordinate enterprise-wide material for senior-level regulatory updates, regulatory councils, and Board-level reporting.
- Provide strategic insight and oversight for major regulatory interactions, ensuring alignment, readiness, and high-quality engagement.
- Oversee governance routines supporting regulatory strategy, including exam retrospectives, thematic analysis, and trend monitoring.
