USD Clearing- Product Manager​/SVP

Citi is looking for a Senior Vice President, Product Manager to join its Global Clearing organization and lead the strategic direction of next-generation payments, clearing, settlement, and digital money solutions. In this role, you will define how money moves across the global financial system — shaping institutional payment infrastructure, driving digital asset innovation, and helping Citi maintain its leadership position in global clearing.

This is a rare opportunity to influence the future of cross-border payments and settlement at the scale of one of the world's most connected financial institutions.

• Define and execute the strategic product roadmap for next-generation payments, encompassing always-on 24/7 payment capabilities, Citi Token Services, and real-time liquidity and settlement solutions.

• Lead Citi's product strategy and engagement across industry-transforming payments and settlement initiatives, with a focus on emerging digital money frameworks, tokenized assets, and the evolution of financial market infrastructure.

• Develop long-term business and product strategies that protect and grow Citi's Global Clearing franchise while identifying opportunities for revenue generation, client acquisition, and market expansion.

• Drive innovation across tokenized deposits, programmable money, digital settlement assets, and interoperability models, bridging traditional financial infrastructure with emerging digital ecosystems.

• Collaborate with clients, financial institutions, central banks, market infrastructures, fintechs, and industry consortia to shape the future of cross-border payments and digital value exchange.

• Partner across Product, Technology, Operations, Risk, Legal, Compliance, Treasury, and Sales to translate strategic priorities into scalable, commercially viable client solutions.

• Represent Citi in industry forums and strategic working groups where the standards and infrastructure of future payments, clearing, and settlement are being defined.

• Analyze competitive market landscapes, client needs, and emerging trends to identify threats, opportunities, and innovation priorities across the payments ecosystem.

• 10+ years of experience in product management, payments, financial market infrastructure, or a closely related field.

• Deep knowledge of the payments ecosystem, including clearing and settlement mechanics, institutional payment flows, and financial market infrastructures.

• Ability to translate complex strategic priorities into clear product roadmaps and commercially viable client solutions.

• Strong analytical and decision-making capability, with a track record of identifying market opportunities and acting on them effectively.

• Clear and concise communicator, able to engage senior stakeholders, clients, and external partners with confidence and credibility.

• Ability to manage competing priorities independently in a fast-moving environment, adjusting focus as circumstances evolve.

• Familiarity with digital assets, tokenized money, programmable payment infrastructure, or decentralized finance concepts as applied to institutional finance.

• Experience engaging with central banks, regulatory bodies, or industry consortia on payments or financial market infrastructure topics.

• Knowledge of marketing strategy, client acquisition, pricing, or product commercialization in a financial services context.

• Master's degree or equivalent postgraduate qualification in a relevant discipline.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent university-level qualification.

Joining Citi's Global Clearing team means stepping into one of the most strategically significant product roles in institutional finance — with the platform, reach, and resources to influence how money moves globally. Senior leaders here operate with real ownership, meaningful autonomy, and access to a network spanning central banks, fintechs, financial institutions, and global regulators.

• Strategic ownership over a high-profile product portfolio that sits at the intersection of institutional payments, digital assets, and global financial market infrastructure.

• Direct influence on Citi's competitive position in global clearing, with the scope to shape industry direction through external forums, consortia, and strategic partnerships.

• Hybrid working model with 3 days in the office and 2 days working remotely.

• Cross-functional exposure across Product, Technology, Operations, Risk, Legal, Compliance, Treasury, and Sales at a global scale.
