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.
Role Overview:
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
