The individual will work in the Liquidity Management (LM) team within Citi’s Treasury Global Function. The team is responsible for establishing the framework for sizing liquidity requirements, including the internal stress testing framework and interpreting regulation in conjunction with other stakeholders within and outside Citi’s Treasury function, providing liquidity oversight to Citi’s global entities, and ensuring that Citi maintains adequate liquidity appropriately positioned to meet the company’s global needs both in normal market conditions as well as during periods of stress.

The Liquidity Coverage Team is the primary point of contact for many of liquidity deliverables per Citi’s liquidity Risk Management Policy and Procedures.
