The Public Sector Banker, Vice President, is expected to manage and grow relationships with government entities and public-sector institutions in the UAE. Responsibilities typically include developing client coverage plans, identifying lending and treasury opportunities, coordinating with product and risk teams, preparing credit proposals, monitoring portfolio performance, and ensuring compliance with Citi policies and local regulations. Candidates generally need substantial experience in corporate, government, or institutional banking, strong knowledge of public-sector financing and cash management, and an established network among government-related entities. Excellent financial analysis, negotiation, communication, presentation, and relationship-management skills are required. Fluency in English is essential; Arabic and regional market experience are valuable. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, risk-aware, collaborative, and capable of managing senior stakeholders.

The United Arab Emirates is not an island nation, but it offers coastal city living across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and other emirates. Job opportunities are strong in banking, government finance, technology, logistics, energy, consulting, tourism, and professional services. The culture combines Emirati traditions, Islamic values, and a highly international expatriate community; modest dress and respectful public behavior are expected. Lifestyle options range from luxury shopping and restaurants to beaches, desert activities, sports, and cultural attractions. The climate is hot for much of the year, with milder winters. Most foreign employees require employer-sponsored residence and work visas, usually supported by medical testing, Emirates ID registration, and document attestation. Relocating employees should confirm housing, health insurance, schooling, transport, and gratuity provisions before accepting an offer. Dubai and Abu Dhabi generally have higher living costs, especially for accommodation.
