Role summary

Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

The role supports Citi’s Reference Data Services team on risk and legal projects for the Asia-Pacific region, working an APAC shift. Requirements typically include a bachelor’s degree, strong attention to detail, analytical and organizational skills, proficiency in Microsoft Office, and the ability to manage confidential data accurately. Experience in banking operations, reference data, risk, legal documentation, or process controls is helpful but may not be essential for a junior position. The successful candidate is expected to review and maintain records, perform data checks, investigate discrepancies, follow established policies, meet deadlines, document work clearly, and collaborate with regional stakeholders. Flexibility for night or shifting hours, professionalism, and willingness to learn Citi systems and regulatory processes are also important.

About the employer

Citi, or Citibank, is a global financial services company serving corporations, institutions, governments, investors, and individual customers in many countries. Its businesses include corporate and commercial banking, markets and securities services, treasury solutions, wealth management, risk, compliance, and technology-enabled operations. Citi has a major service and operations presence in the Philippines, particularly in Metro Manila, supporting global teams across Asia-Pacific and other regions. Employees commonly work in areas such as client service, transaction processing, data management, finance, technology, risk, and regulatory control. The company operates in a highly regulated environment, so accuracy, confidentiality, ethical conduct, and strong internal controls are central to its work. Career opportunities often provide exposure to international banking processes, structured training, and collaboration with colleagues across multiple time zones.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers banking, shared-services, technology, customer-support, finance, and compliance opportunities, with many multinational employers based in Metro Manila, especially Taguig and Makati. Filipino culture is generally warm, community-oriented, and English-friendly, which helps international workers settle in. Lifestyle options range from busy urban living, restaurants, and shopping malls to beaches, mountains, and quieter provincial communities across the country’s many islands. Living costs vary, but housing and transport are usually more affordable than in major financial centers, while traffic in Metro Manila can be significant. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged with assistance from the company; requirements depend on nationality and contract. New arrivals should verify immigration rules, secure accommodation near work, obtain health insurance, and plan for tropical weather and occasional typhoons.
