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.
Team/Role Overview:
The Instructional Design team is part of the Learning Implementation Services (LIS) organization within Citi Learning & Culture. We partner closely with Learning Advisors, Functional Content Owners, and Digital Governance professionals to design high-impact, compliant, and scalable learning experiences that drive Citi’s business transformation.
Day to day, our team of instructional designers collaborates across functions like Anti Money Laundering, Independent Compliance Risk Management, Enterprise Risk & Controls, Information Security, Finance, Data, Human Resources, Legal, Enterprise Operations and others. We design and build learning solutions for audiences ranging from a few hundred to over 250,000 employees globally. Our work includes both traditional and adaptive web-based trainings engineered in typical authoring tools, including dominKnow and Area9 Rhapsode, with localization in 17+ languages.
This instructional design team’s enterprise reach, cutting-edge AI-powered learning technology, and a deep commitment to quality, accessibility, and innovation are its defining features. We’re not just building courses; we’re shaping how Citi learns, adapts, and thrives in a complex, highly regulated environment. It’s meaningful, fast-paced work that directly impacts both regulatory readiness and business performance.
What you’ll do:
-
People Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of global instructional designers, fostering a culture of trust, excellence, and psychological safety, including performance and development conversations, coaching, recognition, and always tailoring your leadership approach based on individual growth & project needs.
-
Instructional Design Oversight: Guide the creation and quality assurance of digital learning solutions (web-based trainings, adaptive learning modules, etc.), ensuring consistency with Citi’s learning design standards, accessibility practices, and other governance, including some hands-on development as needed, while championing the purposeful use of our standard authoring tools Area9 Rhapsode, dominKnow, and generative AI tools to increase efficiency and impact.
-
Operational Excellence: Oversee intake, scoping, and resource planning across a high volume of enterprise design requests using a tiered service model, while monitoring team KPIs (including turnaround times, efficiency metrics, etc.), while proactively addressing risk, bottlenecks, and audit readiness gaps.
-
Strategic Partnership & Collaboration: Serve as a primary instructional design point of contact for Learning Advisors serving designated functional areas, as well as a primary contact for Digital Learning Governance on initiatives that centralize and standardize Citi’s instructional design services.
What we’ll need from you:
-
Deep experience in instructional design, learning technology, or adult education
-
Experience leading people & managing projects in a learning organization, preferably with globally distributed teams
-
Proven expertise designing scalable digital learning solutions using cloud-based authoring tools such as Area9, dominKnow, or similar
-
Strong understanding of learning governance, compliance, and audit-readiness practices
-
Familiarity with related tools, such as LMS systems (e.g., Docebo, SumTotal, Workday), learning reporting & analytics, and generative AI tools
-
Knowledge of enterprise structures, financial industry regulatory practices, learning design standards & governance
You will thrive in this role if you:
-
Build trust quickly, communicate clearly, and coach with empathy
-
Delegate for growth, not just delivery
-
Can shift between visionary design conversations and operational detail
-
Stay calm and solutions-focused when working in fast-paced, high-stakes environments
