Being a GTS Associate at Citi
We offer a number of diverse opportunities to challenge talented
individuals across a broad base of skill-sets within our
organisation. This also gives you the opportunity to work within a
high performance team and contribute directly to the growth of this
exciting business. In order to give you a better
understanding of Global Transaction Services (GTS), the GTS
Associate Program will run for just over two years. It consists of
rotations within product and client sales management, and offers
opportunities across the different geographies in EMEA.
Initial Training
The training program begins in London with one week of GTS core
product training covering the fundamentals of both Treasury and
Trade solutions and Securities and Fund Services. You will then fly
to New York to participate in the Global Associate Welcome Week and
network with Senior Management from all business area within Citi.
Here, you will learn more about Citi and the financial services
industry as a whole. The remainder of the training for EMEA Global
Transaction Services Associates will be conducted in London and
will cover enhancing personal impact and delivery of a solution to
a GTS Specific case study. Citi's most important resource is our

mentoring and socialising, in everything you do throughout your
time on programme.
What You Can Expect to Learn as a GTS
Associate
Here is a small sample of what you can expect to learn as
an Associate in GTS.
Strategic projects: Analysis of various
industries and trends within those industries. You will identify
gaps/areas of financial services needs within a client's value
chain and advise the potential application of GTS products and
solutions towards those needs.
Client involvement: From
budget setting and account planning all the way to getting involved
in client deals, you’ll be involved in all aspects of the client
relationship and understanding of the client's business. Through an
assessment of the synergies between various companies and business
areas, you’ll assist Client Managers in various deals and provide a
value-added enhancement to the client team.
Compliance Projects: As a part of your
training, you will be involved in important compliance and
regulatory projects, where project management skills, senior
escalation and prioritization will all be extremely important.
These projects usually involve working with the entire Client
Management team across EMEA.
Product Teams: Working with various
product teams within GTS, you will identify areas where data could
be captured. This in turn leads to new ideas for existing product
enhancement, as well as ideas for new product
developmentorder to give you a better understanding of
Global Transaction Services (GTS), we asked our current associates
to describe (in their own words) the areas they work in. It is
important to mention that the GTS Associate Program is a three-year
rotational program. It consists of rotations across different
products and countries.
Who We're Looking For
We’re committed to investing in our Associate Programs, both during
the recruitment stage and beyond. We provide ongoing development
opportunities to ensure all of our people have superior financial
knowledge and the skills they need to develop and maintain
profitable client relationships.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and celebrate
diversity. Employing and training the most talented candidates is
fundamental to achieving our business goals.
Summer Associate
Our Summer Internship Program runs for 10 weeks from the middle of
June to the end of August.
Prior to joining the program you will be given a number of
project options from which to select preferences. These will
determine the team that you will be working with while you are with
us.
After Training
Throughout the summer we host a number of business presentations
over breakfast and lunch to give you the opportunity to network
with some of our most senior people in the GTS business.
In addition to these events we also hold weekly business
presentations, networking opportunities with senior managers and
various intern-wide social events. A buddy will be also allocated
to you as a source of informal advice and support over the
summer.
During the program, you’ll take part in a formal evaluation
process that will help us to determine your suitability for a
full-time position on the following year’s Associate
Program.
We do this through:
- A mid-term evaluation
- A project presentation to senior management; and
- A final term review
Remember, this is a two-way process; we also want you to decide
whether this is the right place for you to start your career.
