Non-Financial Regulatory Reporting Global Lead

Citi’s COO Corporate Shared Services organization is seeking a visionary and highly influential leader for the critical new role of Non-Financial Regulatory Reporting (NFRR) Global Lead. This Managing Director will be responsible for the strategic transformation of Citi’s global NFRR capabilities and for converting our compliance function from a cost center into a source of competitive advantage.

Job Overview

This leader will hold single‑threaded accountability for developing and executing the "North Star" vision for NFRR: a proprietary, AI‑enabled, and unified Regulatory Intelligence Platform. The role involves setting the strategic direction, leading a global organization that includes Regulatory Reporting execution, Regulatory program, and Data quality and framework, and driving the end‑to‑end execution of a new Target Operating Model (TOM). The position demands a strategic leader with deep expertise in large‑scale data transformation, experience with firm‑wide regulatory reporting transformations, and a proven ability to lead senior managers.

Key Responsibilities

• Set Strategic Direction: Define and execute a comprehensive, forward‑looking strategy for the NFRR function, creating a singular, scalable, and data‑centric enterprise platform that extends across all of Citi’s businesses.
• Global Team Leadership: Provide senior leadership, mentorship, and career development to a global organization of senior professionals; foster a culture of excellence, innovation, and accountability.

• Accountable Executive to deliver regulatory commitments: Oversee delivery of key regulatory data use‑cases and other deliverables.
• Execute the Target Operating Model: Own the design, socialization, and implementation of a cohesive TOM that unifies processes, platforms, and people, and drives enterprise‑wide cost efficiencies and headcount reduction.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Champion data‑driven insights to identify re‑engineering opportunities; establish a "validate once, reuse multiple times" principle to improve productivity and reduce operational risk.
• Champion AI and Automation: Act as the senior champion for leveraging emerging technologies—particularly agentic AI, machine learning, and autonomous systems—to transform regulatory reporting.
• Deliver AI‑Powered Capabilities: Spearhead delivery of key platform capabilities, including Autonomous Report Generation, Intelligent Exception Triage & Resolution, Agentic Quality Assurance, and Regulatory Change Intelligence.
• Partner for Next‑Generation Tools: Collaborate with Technology and senior business stakeholders to develop and deploy next‑generation tools that establish confidence in every regulatory submission and enable superior decision‑making.
• Enhance the Control Environment: Ensure a robust, proactive risk and control framework is embedded across the NFRR lifecycle, strengthening controls through shift‑left data governance and AI‑enabled testing.
• Senior Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain strong relationships with senior stakeholders across the firm, acting as a key advisor on all NFRR matters.
• Manage Risk and Reputation: Assess risk in business decisions, safeguard Citigroup’s reputation, and enforce compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of senior‑level experience in Regulatory Reporting, Large‑Scale Data Transformation, or Financial Services Operations.
• Broad understanding of systems, theories, and practices relevant to a global reporting function.
• Proven track record of managing multiple teams of senior professionals.
• Hands‑on experience designing and implementing enterprise‑level Target Operating Models (TOMs).
• Strong knowledge of and practical experience applying AI, machine learning, and emerging technologies to scale operational challenges.
• Deep understanding of the global regulatory landscape and industry competitor approaches.
• Excellent communication skills; ability to influence diverse audiences and make independent decisions that impact the company.
• Full management responsibility for multiple teams, including people, budget, and planning.
