Are you looking for a career move that will put you at the heart of a global financial institution? Then bring your skills in analysis, problem solving and communication to Citi's Issuer Services legal team which supports Citi's Agency & Trust and Depositary Receipts businesses.

By Joining Citi, you will become part of a global organization whose mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress.

Team/Role Overview

Citi's Issuer Services business is one of Citi's Services business. Issuer Services itself is a market-leading business providing agent, trustee and banking services to all manner of loan and bond transactions under a very wide array of governing laws as well as escrow and custody services alongside a substantial depositary receipt business. The breadth of transaction types that lawyers in the Issuer Services legal team are exposed to is huge - from cash to custody, bonds to loans, emerging markets to sovereigns, structured finance to high yield, debt to equity as well as too many governing laws to list here.

What you'll do

Working in close partnership with Legal and Compliance colleagues around the world you can expect to support the business and more senior members of the legal team on responding to litigation, the sanctions environment, regulatory change and market developments anywhere in the world. You will also ensure that our policies, practices, procedures and precedent documents are up to date and compliant with latest developments in case law and legislation and help with the development of cutting edge products.
  • work closely with colleagues in the business and fellow control functions to ensure that the deals that the business takes on meet our legal criteria and Citi's overarching requirements for Responsible Finance
  • act as an escalation point for in-business transaction managers to assist them with specific legal issues (such as amendments to indemnification language) or to interpret and/or understand contractual provisions
  • review, negotiate and if appropriate approve documents such as NDAs and Powers of Attorney in line with Citi requirements
  • instruct and manage external counsel
  • support other colleagues in Issuer Services legal globally including in connection with litigation, defaults, restructurings and complex issues generally


What we'll need from you

You should have experience working as a lawyer in an international legal environment gained either in a large law firm or financial institution. Ideally you should have debt capital markets experience but an attitude that welcomes change and development is more important. This role is best suited to someone who enjoys:
  • not knowing what will happen from day to day
  • constantly learning new things
  • thinking challenges through from first principles and
  • challenging themselves and those around them.


What we can offer you

In this role you will be exposed to a vast array of capital markets and banking products and over time be able to navigate your way around huge swathes of the banking world. As your career develops you will learn to take leading roles shaping new products, working with some of the most capable people in the market - both inside and outside the bank. Whilst you develop these skills you will be supported by a great group of colleagues in the business and in legal who are committed to making your succeed.

We work hard to have a positive financial and social impact on the communities we serve. In turn, we put our employees first and provide the best-in-class benefits they need to be well, live well and save well.

By joining Citi Belfast, you will not only be part of a business casual workplace with a hybrid working model (up to 2 days working at home per week), but also receive a competitive base salary (which is annually reviewed), and enjoy a whole host of additional benefits such as:
  • Generous holiday allowance starting at 27 days plus bank holidays; increasing with tenure
