Team/Role Overview

The Client Advisory team is a practitioner-led group that partners with Citi clients to enhance the performance of treasury and finance functions.

The Associate will be expected to build deep expertise in corporate finance and treasury, alongside a strong understanding of the strategic direction of Citi Services and the evolving needs of our clients.
