Job Overview
Are you a senior product management professional ready to shape the future of Fund Services at one of the world's leading financial institutions? As a Middle Office Product Development Manager at Citi, you will own the planning, development, and execution of a high-impact Middle Office product roadmap - spanning operating model transformation, platform redesign, data capabilities, Agentic AI, and evolving client needs. This is a Vice President-level opportunity within Citi's Fund Services business, where your decisions will directly influence product strategy, client outcomes, and the direction of a globally significant business.

Responsibilities
  • Lead strategic product development and transformation initiatives across the Funds Middle Office, ensuring each program aligns with business objectives and delivers measurable outcomes for clients and the business.
  • Manage the end-to-end execution of complex, cross-functional programs by coordinating across product, technology, and operations teams to achieve consistent and timely delivery of the Middle Office product roadmap.
  • Champion Agile ways of working across Middle Office Agile Release Trains, mentoring Product Owners, guiding adherence to Agile best practices, and contributing to Program Increment planning and reporting.
  • Translate high-level business strategy into actionable product development plans, proactively identifying and mitigating risks to maintain delivery momentum and protect the integrity of committed outcomes.
  • Bridge business requirements, product vision, and technical implementation by developing scalable solutions - including the deployment of AI frameworks - to accelerate time to market and improve operational efficiency.
  • Apply in-depth knowledge of core Middle Office products - including Trade Matching, Settlement, IBOR, Performance, Client Reporting, and Post Trade Compliance - to guide product decisions and ensure effective integration across the operating model.
  • Build and advance data capabilities across the business, including data quality control frameworks and real-time client data offerings, while fostering a data-first culture within the team.
  • Engage senior internal stakeholders and external clients to gather feedback, communicate product progress, and align on future-state vision, ensuring Citi's Fund Services business remains a preferred partner in the market.
Required Qualifications & Skills
  • Significant experience in product management or business analysis, with direct exposure to Middle Office functions within a Funds Services environment.
  • Deep knowledge of core Middle Office services including Trade Matching, Settlement, and Investment Book of Record (IBOR) management and oversight.
  • Hands-on experience with AI and machine learning automation projects, applied to process improvement or the development of new product features.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities across complex, multi-functional programs while adapting to shifting requirements and tight timelines.
  • Strong ability to influence and collaborate across a broad range of stakeholders including Operations, Technology, Controls, Compliance, Legal, and Finance.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities, with the ability to work autonomously, prioritize effectively, and drive initiatives forward without close direction.
  • A collaborative team player who builds productive working relationships across functions and seniority levels to achieve shared outcomes.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience, with a preference for candidates holding a Master's degree.
Beneficial Skills & Qualifications
  • Familiarity with Order Management Systems such as Charles River, Aladdin, Bloomberg AIM, or Simcorp.
  • Exposure to digital assets, distributed ledger technology-based trading strategies, or cryptocurrency fund administration.
  • Experience partnering with external vendors or technology alliances to co-develop products or manage strategic agreements.
  • Background in managing multi-function or globally distributed programs at scale.
  • Experience in or exposure to private markets - including private equity, private credit, real assets, or infrastructure - as Citi continues to develop and expand its private markets servicing capability across Fund Services.
