If none of these terms make sense right now, that’s OK! Our analyst program is designed to help you increase your knowledge and provide you with a pan-TTS experience! So whatever your degree is in, we will give you the training and the support you need to succeed. We’re committed to teaching you the ropes.

Here at Citi, rotational programs are intended to help you build a broad skillset and accelerate your career growth by gaining exposure across our business. The 2-year analyst program starts at the end of the Summer and begins with a TTS specific training program.

You will then rotate across four different departments, where you will have hands-on experience working across TTS. Rotations usually provide product management, sales, technical and client-facing experience allowing you to build a strong professional global network at Citi. In line with Citi's global hybrid working policy, successful candidates will be required to be present in the office at least 3 days a week.

Your time here will look something like this:

1. Supporting the team in identifying and executing complex cash management and trade structures to our clients.
2. Building client-facing pitch-books and proposals.
3. Analysing transaction flows of the world's largest financial institutions.
4. Be a part of the front end of technological development for the financial transaction space.
