Reference Data Management Junior Analyst - APAC Shift
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
This junior analyst role supports reference data management for Citi’s APAC operations. Responsibilities typically include maintaining and validating financial or client reference data, processing updates accurately, investigating data exceptions, responding to internal queries, following documented procedures, and meeting service-level and control requirements. Candidates are generally expected to have a bachelor’s degree, strong attention to detail, basic analytical and Excel skills, and good written and spoken English. Knowledge of banking operations, securities, financial products, or data management is helpful but may not be essential for an entry-level position. The successful candidate should be comfortable working an APAC shift, handling repetitive tasks with accuracy, protecting confidential information, collaborating across teams, and escalating issues appropriately.
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.
Guidance, not legal advice. Rules change; your employer confirms the details for your case.
