Are you looking for a career move that will put you at the heart of a global financial institution?

By Joining Citi, you will become part of a global organisation whose mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress.

Role Overview:

This is an excellent opportunity to join the Markets Issue Management team, working directly with senior leaders to support delivery of effective and on-time issue remediation across the Markets business at Citi.

The role combines in-depth knowledge of risk and control frameworks, remediation practices and audit validation methodologies with a strong understanding of the partnership required across the first, second and third lines of defence to achieve effective and lasting outcomes. Success in the role will require the ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders, provide robust challenge, influence decision-making, and drive accountability across a broad range of business, risk and control functions.

  • Provide oversight and constructive challenge over complex issue remediation portfolios, ensuring solutions deliver sustainable enhancements to the control environment.
  • Manage stakeholder engagement throughout the full lifecycle of remediation programmes effectively to drive issue resolution, influence decision making and deliver successful outcomes across business, risk, compliance, audit and technology partners.
  • Improve IA engagement by promoting awareness and knowledge of IA methodology.
  • Integrate lessons learned into the development of corrective action plans, promoting continuous improvement and timely closure of issues.
  • Leverage analytics to assess issue remediation trends, systemic control weaknesses, identify key risks, and develop actionable insights for improvement.
  • Drive adherence to Issue Management policies, standards and procedures while identifying opportunities to improve remediation effectiveness and governance.

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.
