At Citi Markets, we win together. In a rapidly changing world, our shared vision gives us the clarity, agility and global perspectives we need to shape the future. That's why collaboration plays a central role in how we deliver for clients, develop our people, and grow our business.
Our operation is uniquely global. Our client list is remarkably varied. Our product range is incredibly broad. But we're not the finished article. We have big ambitions for the future and all the resources we need to reach them, including some of the smartest people in the industry.
Citi's Markets business is one of the world's leading franchises in fixed income, currencies, commodities, equities, and prime finance. We connect institutional clients to deep liquidity, sophisticated risk management solutions, and market-leading execution capabilities across developed and emerging markets. Our equities platform spans cash equities, equity derivatives, convertibles, ETFs, and prime financing, supported by a global network of experienced traders, sales professionals, and research analysts.
Team/Role Overview
The Electronic Execution desk is part of the Global Cash Equities business. Electronic Execution—often referred to as "Low-Touch"—is one of three primary execution channels through which institutional investors interact with cash equity markets via Citi. Our platform equips Long‑Only asset managers, Hedge Funds, and Wholesale clients with market‑leading algorithmic strategies to access electronic order books across multiple execution venues, alongside Citi's principal liquidity via the Central Risk desk.
The Algo Trading function is responsible for monitoring, optimizing, and supporting internal and external utilization of electronic trading strategies. Internal trading desks supported include, but are not limited to: Program Trading, Developed Markets (DM) Cash Trading, Emerging Markets (EM) Cash Trading, Delta One Trading, Derivatives Trading, and Systematic Execution Services (SES).
On a day‑to‑day basis, Algo Trading collaborates closely with the Electronic Sales Trading team to:
- Monitor all algorithmic flow into the platform and act as the first line of support for all internal desks.
- Act swiftly and make split second decision on best course of action during production outages to minimise business risk and exposure.
- Oversee the deployment and configuration of client‑specific algorithmic parameters and ensure execution behavior aligns with expected outcomes.
- Investigate and resolve real‑time operational and execution issues encountered by sales traders or clients.
- Monitor and incorporate market events—including corporate actions and newly listed tradeable securities—ensuring accurate onboarding, routing, and execution within Citi’s algorithmic engines
