The Assistant Vice President, Cash & Trade Processing role supports the accurate and timely processing of cash management and trade transactions, including payments, collections, investigations, reconciliations, and exception handling. Requirements typically include a degree in finance, banking, business, or a related discipline, along with several years of experience in transaction processing, trade operations, or financial services. Candidates should understand operational controls, risk management, service-level requirements, and relevant banking procedures. Strong analytical, communication, problem-solving, and team leadership skills are expected. Experience with process improvement, automation, reporting, audit support, and managing stakeholders across regions would be advantageous. The role may also involve supervising staff, resolving escalated issues, and ensuring compliance with Citi policies and regulatory standards.
Citi is a major global financial institution providing banking and financial services to corporations, governments, investors, and individuals. Its businesses include corporate and commercial banking, transaction services, markets, securities services, wealth management, and consumer banking in selected markets. Citi’s cash management and trade operations help clients manage payments, liquidity, collections, working capital, and international commerce. The company operates across numerous countries and relies on regional service centers such as its Malaysian operations to support global processing, technology, risk, and client-service activities. Citi emphasizes operational control, regulatory compliance, innovation, inclusion, and professional development. In Malaysia, its teams work with international colleagues and commonly support processes that operate across different time zones. Employees may gain exposure to multinational banking practices, process transformation, and complex financial products.
For this role, the likely base is Penang, Malaysia, an island-and-mainland state known for banking operations, shared services, technology, manufacturing, and international business opportunities. George Town offers strong cultural variety, historic architecture, street food, temples, festivals, and a lively expatriate community. Lifestyle costs are generally lower than Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, although rents in popular areas such as George Town, Tanjung Tokong, and Bayan Lepas vary. Public buses, e-hailing services, and motorcycles are common; owning a car can be useful outside central areas. Malaysia’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with heavier rain during monsoon periods. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship for an Employment Pass, and approval depends on salary, qualifications, and immigration rules. Relocating candidates should arrange document verification, medical checks, housing, banking, and insurance before arrival.
