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. Responsibilities: 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. Qualifications: 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. Education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent university-level qualification.
