Job Description Citi is evolving its current commerce offerings and branching into new avenues of growth by offering merchants access to high value card members across Citi’s digital properties and partner placements. By combining Citi’s scale, trusted customer relationships, and real purchase insights, the business delivers advertising that is relevant to customers and drives measurable, incremental impact for advertisers. We're building Citi Commerce from the ground up, and we're looking for a programmatic media subject matter expert who knows how to translate client objectives into flawless campaign execution.
