Job Description

Are you looking for a career move that will put you at the heart of a global financial institution?

By Joining Citi, you will become part of a global organisation whose mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress.

Citi is looking for an Operations & Innovation Senior Project Analyst to play a pivotal role at the intersection of two high-impact innovation teams — the Markets Accelerator and Digital Solutions — based in Belfast. In this position, you will support the operational and strategic goals across both functions. This is a compelling opportunity to sit at the heart of Citi's innovation agenda, driving coordination, consistency, and momentum across agile, fast-moving teams.

What you'll be doing:

• Coordinate end-to-end project logistics for the Markets Accelerator, including meeting preparation, demo scheduling, hackathon planning, and the project solicitation process, so that engineering and quantitative talent can remain focused on delivery.

• Draft and distribute stakeholder communications on behalf of the Accelerator, keeping senior management informed of progress without drawing on engineering or quantitative resource.

• Develop and maintain a consistent framework for measuring project success across the full lifecycle of the annual project slate, tracking outcomes and reporting on the cumulative impact of the Markets Accelerator's portfolio of work.

• Support the full hiring and resource lifecycle for the Accelerator, including creating and maintaining requisitions for annual and rolling hiring cycles in alignment with Citi standards.

• Own and continuously improve the operational processes that enable the Accelerator to run effectively and scale its global footprint, covering performance management, year-end cycles, budget oversight, and organisational health.

• Build and maintain relationships with local universities to promote Citi's innovation work and attract new talent to the Belfast site.

• Support the Digital Solutions team with product planning activities, including gathering stakeholder requirements, maintaining concise product documentation, and managing general team logistics.

• Develop and maintain marketing and branding collateral that communicates the impact of projects across both teams, providing dedicated ownership to a function that currently lacks it.

What we'll need from you:

• Several years relevant experience

• Familiarity with agile or innovation-led team environments, and an understanding of how technical or quantitative teams operate under time-pressured delivery cycles.

• Experience supporting product planning activities, including requirements gathering or maintaining product documentation.

• Prior involvement in university partnership programmes, talent attraction initiatives, or external engagement activities.

• Exposure to marketing or communications collateral development, particularly in a technology or financial services context.

• A genuine curiosity for emerging technologies and new ways of working, combined with an interest in developing knowledge of the markets business and how it operates.

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multi-stakeholder programmes in a fast-paced environment, managing competing priorities without losing momentum.

• Clear and confident communicator, capable of drafting senior-level updates and translating operational details into concise, audience-appropriate messaging.

• Experience supporting operational processes such as resource planning, hiring workflows, budget tracking, or performance cycles within a structured organisation.

• Ability to work across multiple teams simultaneously, maintaining consistency and quality of output without direct line authority over delivery teams.

• Organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to maintain documentation, track progress, and manage logistics across concurrent workstreams.

Education:

• Bachelor’s/University degree or equivalent experience
