Finance Specialist

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

Team/Role Overview

We are looking for a talented, tech-savvy individual to join our internal consulting unit in Budapest. The Regulatory Response Team has a diverse mix of developer, business analyst, finance, and risk expertise. Accordingly, we are open to considering a wide range of backgrounds, and do not expect you to be proficient in every field.

Being a quick response unit, we handle urgent and critical problems requiring a custom technical solution or subject matter expertise. Our team members act as internal consultants, develop and reengineer processes, and introduce digital transformation where it is most needed within the Finance Controllers division. We have a strong emphasis on process engineering for the regulatory & financial reporting field.

We are a strongly technical team relying on technologies such as KNIME, Python and Tableau. You do not need to be a technical expert at start but should have a willingness to learn.

What you’ll do

• Work in cooperation with various teams across Citi’s Finance Division, external consultants, and project specialists to rationalize and automate financial and regulatory reports, internal business processes, and management information systems.

• Engagements are diverse in nature so you will have exposure to a range of professional areas within Finance. However, process engineering within the regulatory reporting space will be a recurring theme.

• You will be expected to proactively contribute to the Team’s engagements by identifying and implementing process improvement initiatives and standardization ideas that increase productivity and efficiency, while reducing process cycle times and errors.

• Temporarily deployed to support daily reporting teams in need. In this capacity, you will be challenged to learn about new areas and to act as a generalist expert, ensuring business continuity, and coming up with process improvement ideas.

• You will grow into a subject-matter-expert in a relevant professional area, be it in financial risk management, regulatory reporting, Basel, Capital Requirements Regulations or other aspects of the regulatory policy domain.

• We are an agile, tech-savvy team, and would like you to contribute to the technical innovation effort to further improve our data management capabilities and process automation techniques.

What we’ll need from you

• Bachelor’s/University degree; Master’s degree preferred.

• Fluency in English.

• This role is ideal for an individual with 3-5 years of relevant experience.

• Knowledge of financial markets, banking products, understanding of key concepts in finance, financial risk management (credit risk & market risk), and regulatory policy (Basel Accords, COREP, FINREP, Capital Requirements Regulations, and related topics) are considered important assets for this position.

• Financial Services Industry, Consulting, or Technology background is preferred.

• Experience with reporting processes, regulatory reporting, and related projects.

• Expert-level Excel skills with working experience in process automation is highly valued.

• Programming knowledge in any leading technology such as Python and familiarity with SQL is a strong plus.

• Experience with data transformation tools, and data analytics platforms such as KNIME and/or Tableau would be nice to have.
