• 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.
