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.

About the employer

Citi, formally Citigroup Inc., is a global financial services company headquartered in New York. It provides banking, capital-markets, treasury, securities, wealth-management, and institutional services to corporations, governments, investors, and individuals in markets worldwide. Citi’s operations in the Philippines, including its Taguig presence, support regional and global businesses through technology, operations, finance, risk, customer service, and data-management teams. The company is known for its international network and for processing complex financial activity across multiple jurisdictions. Employees typically work in structured, highly regulated environments where accuracy, data security, risk awareness, and collaboration are important. Benefits and working arrangements vary by position, business unit, and employment contract, so candidates should confirm current details directly in the vacancy and during the recruitment process.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers employment opportunities in banking, business-process services, technology, healthcare, education, tourism, and shared-service operations. Metro Manila, especially Taguig, Makati, and Quezon City, has the largest concentration of multinational employers, while Cebu and Davao are important regional centers. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, family-oriented, community-minded, and comfortable with English in professional settings. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to more relaxed coastal and provincial communities; traffic and rainy-season disruptions can affect commuting. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly coordinated through the Bureau of Immigration; requirements vary by nationality and role. Filipinos do not need a visa to work in their own country. Relocating employees should budget for housing, healthcare, transportation, deposits, and document processing, and verify current immigration rules before traveling.
