We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced risk professional to join the Global Liquidity Risk Management (GLRM) team within the Finance CRO organization.

The successful candidate will act as a key contributor and thought leader in ensuring that liquidity risk assumptions are robust, transparent, and appropriately challenged across a range of internal and regulatory scenarios. This role encompasses the entire lifecycle—from risk identification through to assumption calibration and scenario development—underpinning the firm’s internal liquidity stress tests, recovery and resolution planning (RRP), and rapid stress testing (RST) frameworks. The role requires deep expertise in liquidity risk, financial markets, and stress testing methodology, as well as the ability to collaborate across functional and regional teams.Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee the identification and articulation of material liquidity risks across business lines, geographies, and products.
  • Drive the design, review, and challenge of liquidity assumptions embedded in the Internal Liquidity Stress Testing (ILST) framework, including key behavioral and market-driven assumptions.
  • Collaborate with scenario design teams to ensure that liquidity risks are accurately and consistently reflected in both firm-wide and idiosyncratic scenarios.
  • Review and validate key inputs into the Recovery & Resolution Plan (RRP), with a focus on liquidity outflow and inflow assumptions, counterbalancing capacity projections, and wind-down profiles.
  • Partner with stakeholders in Treasury, Risk, Finance, and Legal to ensure alignment and completeness of liquidity risk narratives and methodologies.
  • Maintain documentation standards, model governance compliance, and internal controls associated with liquidity assumptions and stress testing processes.
  • Contribute to regulatory engagements and responses related to liquidity risk, stress testing assumptions, and resolution planning.
  • Appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, demonstrating particular consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients and assets, by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, adhering to Policy, applying sound ethical judgment regarding personal behavior, conduct and business practices, and escalating, managing and reporting control issues with transparency, as well as effectively supervise the activity of others and create accountability with those who fail to maintain these standards.
Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of experience in liquidity risk management, Treasury, or financial risk roles within a global financial institution.
  • 8-10+ years' managerial experience
