Markets and Quantitative Analysis

Markets and Quantitative Analysis and Citi
For someone with a strong quantitative background and good communication skills, Citi's MQA division is an ideal place to work; a dynamic environment where business intuition and mathematical savvy are equally vital. Working closely with sales and trading, our role as strategists and quants is to take a broader and deeper view of the market, to harness quantitative know-how to real-time market intelligence, and to communicate our ideas effectively to internal and external clients. In contrast to many other banks, Citi's MQA division encourages its employees to gain experience across products and markets, allowing for unlimited career development opportunities. Given its global scope and depth of expertise at innovating cutting-edge products, Citi is a place you can grow with.
How Are We structured?
