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

Team Overview:

In accordance to standards and policy, client records within Citi’s Know Your Customer platform (CitiKYC) must adhere to timelines and requirements around relationship management. This risk-based model considers client type, expected business, footprint, etc., to establish standards for relationship management, defining onboarding requirements, relationship renewal requirements, and proper escalation channels where client activity may pose AML risk. Critical components of higher risk records include the Periodic Transaction Review (PTR), AML Program Assessment (PA), AML Risk Summary, Due Diligence, Risk Evaluation Management (REM), and Relationship Management. All are designed to supplement and enhance KYC documentation for certain higher risk client types, including Foreign Correspondent Banks, Payment Intermediaries, and Embassies. These groups are responsible for mitigating risk through comparing actual business activity to what was anticipated per the KYC Profile, ensuring business models and AML programs in place with clients are within Citi’s risk appetite (particularly in consideration of third-party flows), and retaining relevant documentation supporting all decision making.

Role Overview:

• Frequently collaborate with regional teams and SMEs to gather feedback on all initiatives, ensuring overall consistency in the process and procedures is in place, as well as for any implementation of new processes or changes to the program.
