You will ensure that all projects adhere to requirement standards and reporting requirements, appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, and demonstrate consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients, and assets. This includes 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. The role requires independence of judgment and autonomy, acting as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to senior stakeholders and/or other team members.
