You're ready to bring your knowledge from the classroom to the boardroom — and Citi wants to help you get there! Citi's Global Functions business division is looking for driven Associates to join the Corporate Finance team in the US. Our Financial Management Associate (FMA) rotational program is designed to accelerate your career by giving you exposure to numerous roles across Corporate Finance, helping you discover your best-fit path at Citi. Citi offers significant opportunities for career growth and internal mobility.
The FMA Program is a global leadership development program for Masters and MBA graduates, built to create a pipeline of future Corporate Finance leaders across disciplines including Controllers, Treasury, Financial Planning & Analysis, Tax, and business-aligned Chief Finance Offices. This 24-month program is structured around three 8-month rotations, giving you deep, meaningful exposure while working closely with senior managers to build real leadership capability. Rotations will be dependent on business needs and program availability. Upon successful completion, FMAs may be considered for opportunities within Citi Finance. As an FMA, you'll help drive Citi Finance's 4 priorities: champion financial performance & strategic execution, generate value & optimize resources, accelerate finance transformation & controls, and develop our people & culture — all while enjoying:
Senior Access – Exposure to Citi's senior Corporate Finance leaders who guide your growth
Global Reach – Build a network of relationships across the global Citi Finance community
Leadership – Sharpen your management skills through rotational responsibility
Responsibility – High impact work aligned with Citi’s growth strategy
Empowerment – FMAs are challenged to become involved in the fast-paced analytical and dynamic financial environment
You'll kick things off with an energizing “Welcome Week” and comprehensive global training program starting in July. This is an opportunity to network with Citi's finance leadership and fellow FMAs — followed by an intensive curriculum covering accounting, modeling, technical and soft skills (presentation, communication, leadership), plus deep-dives into Citi's major businesses and Corporate Finance disciplines. From there, you'll roll straight into your first of three 8-month rotations, building both breadth and depth across Corporate Finance.
