Job description

What is Services?

Citi’s Services organization plays a crucial role in supporting institutional clients through a wide range of innovative solutions, enabling them to navigate complex financial landscapes. Our business provides integrated cash management and trade finance solutions to help multinational corporations, financial institutions, and public sector organizations optimize liquidity, working capital, and streamline transactions globally. Our business also delivers custody, fund administration, collateral management, and performance analytics, helping asset managers, institutional investors, and financial institutions efficiently manage and safeguard assets. With our global reach, including presence in over 90 countries, cutting-edge technology, and client-first approach, we provide seamless solutions that drive business success in an evolving financial world.

In this rapidly evolving landscape, we are increasingly leveraging advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance our offerings, improve efficiency, and provide deeper insights to our clients. This includes utilizing AI-powered tools for predictive analytics, automation of routine tasks, and generating actionable insights from vast datasets to inform strategic decisions across our services portfolio.

We provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed.

The Citi Services 10-week Summer Analyst Program gives entry-level employees hands‑on experience through training sessions and real, on‑the‑job learning. Summer Analysts work closely with their teams, owning projects that drive meaningful impact. After an initial week of training and a placement process based on your interests and our needs, you’ll be assigned to a team where you’ll focus on financial analysis, business development, client engagement, and market research.

Your time here will look something like this:

• Conduct market research to assess industry trends and the impact of macroeconomic factors.
• Develop materials that support business development, product commercialization, and revenue growth, identifying opportunities where data‑driven insights and AI capabilities can add value. This may involve contributing to business cases for new AI-driven product features or improvements to existing services.
• Assist with process optimization initiatives to enhance efficiency and mitigate risk, potentially exploring how AI/ML tools can automate tasks or improve decision‑making. Evaluate the effectiveness of AI-powered automation in improving operational workflows and reducing manual effort.
• Analyze client data to identify opportunities and improve service offerings, leveraging various analytical techniques, including interpreting insights derived from advanced analytical models. You will be exposed to how AI models are used to segment clients, predict behaviors, and personalize service delivery.
• Prepare reports and presentations for internal stakeholders and senior leadership, effectively communicating complex data analysis and potentially insights from AI-driven tools. Clearly articulate the implications and benefits of AI-generated insights for business strategies.
• Participate in networking events, training sessions, and leadership discussions to strengthen your personal and professional development.

We want to hear from you if…

• You are a university student graduating in Summer 2028, and on track to achieve a 2.1
• You have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• You are proficient in Microsoft Excel (e.g., data analysis, lookups, basic modeling) and have working knowledge of PowerPoint and Outlook. Exposure to analytical platforms or an eagerness to learn about AI‑specific tools (e.g., natural language processing applications, machine learning dashboards) will be beneficial.
• You have an interest in financial services and a drive to learn how technology, including AI, is transforming the industry. Demonstrated curiosity about how AI is being leveraged for efficiency, client experience, and risk management is key.

Who we think will be a great fit…

We’re looking for motivated individuals who are eager to start their careers at a global organization, tend to think strategically, have an innovative approach to business, and value diversity as much as we do. We know that anyone—not just those with business degrees—can have a knack for business, so we’re open to all disciplines. We’ll also be looking for:

• Strong interpersonal and relationship‑building skills.
• Excellent communication skills.
• A high level of accuracy, time management, and attention to detail, including a proactive interest in understanding AI methodologies and their application in real‑world business scenarios.
• Solid organizational skills and ability to work autonomously – self‑starter.
• A high level of personal integrity, commitment to excellence, and a strong desire to learn.
• Resilience to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment.
• A sense of urgency and the ability to execute quickly and efficiently.

Your future at Citi

Successful Summer Analysts may be invited to return as full‑time Analysts upon graduation. During the program, you will have access to mentorship, career development sessions, and networking opportunities with senior leaders and professionals across Citi. This experience is designed to provide you with a strong foundation to launch a long‑term career within the firm, preparing you for a future where technology and AI play an increasingly central role.
