Job description

Forget the ten-line wish list; Citigroup wants a Corporate Counsel in Yuma, AZ who is sharp on Resilience and serious about the work. The thing worth noting is how much Citigroup trusts you here — $70,000 - $98,000, general ownership, and a long runway, all from 6 years in.

Key Responsibilities

• Write the Legal Writing runbook the next hire wishes they had
• Anticipate the AZ compliance wrinkle before it becomes a fire
• Make general tradeoffs visible so Citigroup can weigh them
• Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
• Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached

What You'll Bring

• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• Hands-on experience with modern Resilience workflows and tooling
• Senior mastery of Securities Law, validated by people who'd hire you again
• The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
• Comfort with a Citigroup pace that rarely sits still

Everything Citigroup ships starts as a low-drama argument in a Yuma conference room about how Securities Law should really work. We give people autonomy early and trust them to ask for support when they need it.

For this Corporate Counsel role we offer $70,000 - $98,000, a mentor who has walked the path, and benefits designed for life outside Citigroup.

Right now, today, applications for the general role are landing and being read.
