Citi is currently looking to hire a Structurer into its Multi Asset Group (MAG) focusing on product development, with a particular emphasis on linear products and collaboration with the Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) and Equity Derivatives Delta One teams.
By joining Citi’s MAG, you will be a key member of a dynamic team whose primary focus is to provide asset-based investment and hedging solutions for a diverse range of clients, including distributors and institutional investors such as insurance companies, asset managers (including hedge funds), and pension funds.
You will be joining an established desk looking to further expand its product offering and client base by leveraging the existing platform to enhance and broaden our suite of linear products.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will be varied and exciting, encompassing the following key drivers:
- Your primary focus will be developing and marketing innovative linear products to global clients. You will tailor your approach to effectively communicate with a wide range of clients, from sophisticated hedge fund users seeking hedging solutions to multi-asset investors interested in factor-based strategies.
- Leverage your existing network and cultivate new relationships to understand client needs, introduce Citi's product offerings, and ultimately drive client satisfaction. You will work closely with clients to develop bespoke, investable strategies that align with their investment objectives.
- Contribute to the continued growth of the platform by identifying and developing new client segments in collaboration with Citi's sales teams. You will participate in various growth initiatives and multi-asset projects, playing a key role in their implementation across different client segments.
- Provide support on bespoke client projects, ensuring seamless execution and delivery. You will contribute to business-as-usual (BAU) activities to maintain high service levels for clients globally, meeting Citi's standards of excellence.
- Collaborate closely with other teams across the bank, including trading, product development, and various support teams, to ensure a cohesive and effective product offering. You will work closely with the QIS and Equity D1 teams on various Equity D1 streams, including factors, thematic investing, hedging frameworks, and the necessary platform development.
What we will need from you:
- A comprehensive understanding of a wide range of products across various asset classes and their effective application to meet client needs. This includes a strong understanding of linear products, including the latest developments and their potential applications in client solutions.
- A proven track record of building and maintaining strong client relationships within the institutional client base through a solutions-oriented approach.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, essential for effectively pitching products to clients with varying levels of knowledge. Experience working closely with other teams across the bank, including trading, product development, and support teams, is crucial.
- A strong understanding of how to assess the risk/reward profile of transactions when making business decisions, demonstrating sound judgment and adherence to applicable laws, rules, and regulations. This includes considering the firm's reputation, client interests, and asset protection.
