Working at Citi is far more than just a job. A career with us means joining a team of more than 230,000 dedicated people from around the globe. At Citi, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your career, give back to your community and make a real impact.

Citi's Markets division is one of the world's premier global trading and financing franchises, delivering integrated sales, trading, and structuring capabilities across equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities to institutional clients across nearly 80 countries. Within Equities, Citi's Strategic Equity Solutions (SES) platform provides bespoke financing and structured product capabilities — including equity margin lending, NAV and fund share financing, and structured equity derivatives — to a sophisticated client base spanning hedge funds, alternative asset managers, and institutional investors.

This Analyst position sits within Citi's SES Structuring and Origination team in London, a function that designs and executes tailored equity financing and structured derivative solutions for clients operating across alternative investment strategies. The role spans the full deal lifecycle — from initial structuring and pricing through to execution and legal documentation — and requires close collaboration with trading, sales, legal, and risk stakeholders.

It is a genuinely cross‑functional position that combines technical rigour with commercial awareness in one of Citi's highest‑priority growth areas within Equities.

• Support the origination team with the preparation of marketing materials, tailored to specific situations, various financial products and different type of clients located in multiple jurisdictions in EMEA. Prepare daily reports for existing clients of Citi to monitor live transactions (e.g. share buybacks, margin loans and structured equity derivatives).
• Develop and maintain pricing models and analytical frameworks for structured equity derivatives and financing products, incorporating dividend assumptions, corporate action scenarios, and stock‑specific risk factors to support competitive and accurate client pricing.
• Partner with sales and trading teams to identify and originate new business opportunities, providing technical structuring support and responding to bespoke client enquiries with well‑constructed, commercially viable solutions.
• Draft and review legal and transactional documentation, including term sheets, ISDA schedules, and bespoke financing agreements, coordinating with legal counsel and internal control functions to ensure terms are commercially sound and risk‑appropriate.
• Monitor and manage risk across live structured positions, conducting ongoing portfolio‑level assessment of credit, market, and liquidity exposures, and escalating where appropriate in line with internal risk governance frameworks.
• Contribute to platform automation and efficiency initiatives by working with technology teams to develop scalable structuring tools, enhance internal systems, and improve the operational workflow of the desk.

• Genuine interest in financial markets, equity derivatives and financing products. Eager to learn and good team spirit.
• Quantitative and financial modelling capability — a degree in a numerate discipline (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Financial Engineering, or related STEM field) is strongly preferred, supported by hands‑on experience applying quantitative methods to live product structuring.
• Knowledge of equity derivative products, including vanilla options, bespoke payoff structures, and equity financing instruments, with the ability to independently model, price, and document transactions.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills — the ability to engage credibly with clients, traders, risk partners, and compliance teams in both written and verbal contexts, translating complex structural detail into clear and commercially grounded terms.
• Knowledge of Python, VBA, or equivalent…
