Job description

Citigroup pays up to $74,000 - $97,000 for an Inventory Specialist who can shorten the distance between insight and action to almost nothing. The appeal is layered — $74,000 - $97,000, a freelance rhythm, business ownership, and a Citigroup crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate cross-departmental projects from kickoff through delivery
• Read the APICS CPIM signals early enough to steer before the quarter closes
• Build the model that tells you when to stop a losing business bet
• Turn a recurring exception into a rule the system handles itself
• Translate $74,000 - $97,000-range investments into outcomes leadership can point to
• Manage vendor relationships and negotiate contracts on behalf of Citigroup

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years that left you with strong instincts and few ilus
• Hands-on Self-Motivation experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• Familiarity with Citigroup-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• Judgment seasoned by at least 4 years of real consequences
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback

Citigroup is what happens when transparent engineers in Elgin decide that good enough is the enemy of great Vendor Management. Trust, transparency, and steady momentum are the three things we protect above all else.

For your 5 of APICS CPIM, expect $74,000 - $97,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the room to grow on a flexible schedule.
