Team/Role Overview:
The Services Credit Consumption team provides horizontal ownership and governance across five product verticals — Trade & Working Capital Solutions (TWCS / Trade), Payments, Liquidity Management Services (LMS), Investor Services, and Issuer Services — ensuring that credit is consumed (booked / utilised) correctly, governed rigorously, and reported accurately across Citi Services.
As Credit Product Lead, you will serve as the accountable owner for provision of the credit utility -predominantly intraday- for product offerings under Payments, Investor Services, and Issuer Services. This is a high-visibility, hands-on delivery role, requiring close collaboration with Product Management Teams, Technology, Operations, Risk Management and Senior Leadership to ensure that credit across covered products is governed, processed, and reported — alongside strategic planning to formalise governance frameworks and design the future-state credit consumption model.

Ownership & Governance:
Serve as end-to-end owner of credit utility for credit-consuming Services products under respective product pillars.

Lead the full lifecycle of enterprise governance (e.g. New Activity Committee (NAC) submission(s), Enterprise Product Taxonomy (EPT) formalisations, Data Modelling) from scoping and socialisation to documentation, and final sign-off.
Own and oversee the intraday excess approval process for all covered Services products,
Serve as the main point of contact for architecture discussions for Intraday Credit coordinating requirements across Payments, Issuer Services, and Investor Services to build the next level, common, reusable platform capability.

Deep understanding of credit mechanics, payment flows, and the credit risk implications of product offerings under the covered product pillars.
Demonstrated experience in navigating enterprise governance or equivalent new product and policy approval frameworks in a regulated financial institution.
Solid grounding in risk and control frameworks and operational risk, with experience proactively managing risk across complex, multi-region product environments.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a proven ability to articulate complex credit, technical, and governance concepts to senior internal and external audiences.
Demonstrated ability to influence, negotiate, and build consensus across highly matrixed global organisations, diverse cultures, and competing business priorities.
Proven track record of conceptualising a business vision and successfully executing large-scale product or governance transformations.
