Analyst
Being a Risk Analyst at Citi
The Risk Analyst program provides the unique perspective that
comes with a strategic business partner throughout the divisions of
the Firm. After training, Analysts have the opportunity to work in
the Institutional Clients Group (ICG), the Consumer Bank and Citi
Alternative Investments across many different functions such as
Credit Risk, Market Risk, Risk Architecture, Infrastructure Risk
and Risk Capital.
Initial Training
The ten-week training is delivered by a combination of
practitioners in the business and industry, including resident
experts in Risk Management. The curriculum includes a Citi
orientation and topics such as Financial Accounting, Finance,
Balance Sheet Analysis, Strategy & Planning, Tax, Risk policies
and other professional training.
What You’ll Learn
Candidates will gain a broad understanding of how a portfolio of
risk is managed in a global financial institution using various
measurement techniques including VaR, stress-testing and scenario
analysis. Candidates will also learn about the risks and rewards
from individual financial instruments. Additionally, the program
includes several networking events.
The Risk Analyst Program has two separate
tracks:
1) The Global Risk track is a one-year program followed by
permanent placement and is structured to respond to the
increasingly quantitative and technical demands of the financial
world. This allows Analysts with strong technical and quantitative
abilities to spend time across the Citi Risk businesses including
the Global Consumer Bank, Global Institutional Bank, Private Bank
and Brokerage, Risk Capital, Risk Architecture, Infrastructure Risk
and our CAO groups.
2) The Institutional Clients Group (ICG) Risk track is a two-year
program followed by an opportunity for a third year position,
pending business need and Analyst performance. Analysts will work
primarily in the Global Industries Regional Markets (GIRM) group
and will work in a pool supporting a series of industries or
products in the ICG. The Analysts will focus on analysis,
transaction execution and portfolio management.
