Reference Data Services Junior Analyst
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Reference Data Services Junior Analyst supports the maintenance, validation, and quality control of client, product, and institutional reference data used across Citi’s operations. Typical requirements include a bachelor’s degree, preferably in business, finance, accounting, information systems, or a related field; strong attention to detail; basic knowledge of spreadsheets and data-management processes; and good written and spoken English. Candidates are expected to investigate data discrepancies, follow documented procedures and controls, meet service-level deadlines, maintain accurate records, and work effectively with regional teams. Experience in banking operations, reference data, reconciliations, or a shared-services environment is helpful but may not be essential for an entry-level role.
Can I work in the Philippines?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Work permit route: the bank must post the job for Filipinos first, then file the permit and the 9(g) visa; senior and specialist posts are the realistic ones.
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: Graduate analyst roles are the hardest case: a permit is issued only if no Filipino is competent, able and willing to do the job (Labor Code, article 40).
Official source: Bureau of Immigration: Pre-arranged Employment Visa (9G). Checked November 2026.
What the job usually comes with in the Philippines
Usual for Banking jobs in the Philippines, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Senior expat packages often add a housing allowance; local-hire contracts do not |
|---|---|
| Relocation | Employer files the permit and visa; fees are agreed in the contract; moving help for senior hires only |
| Flights | Yearly home flight in some senior expat packages; none for local hires |
| Contract | Regular after at most 6 months' probation (by law); foreigners' contracts follow the permit, 1 to 3 years |
| Leave | 5 days after 1 year; 10 regular holidays and 8 special days in 2026 (by law) |
| Income tax | 0% to PHP 250,000 a year (about USD 4,000), then 15% to 35%; 13th month tax-free to PHP 90,000 |
| Health cover | PhilHealth is deducted from pay and matched by the employer (by law); a company health plan is the office norm |
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
