Diagnose and resolve advanced technical queries related to Host-to-Host connectivity, encryption, certificate updates, and payment file format validation, coordinating with technology teams, vendors, and product teams as needed.
Track escalated cases through to resolution, ensuring timely updates are communicated to clients and that agreed service level agreements are consistently met.
Verify system configurations to confirm that client payment flows and reporting outputs align with documented requirements, including board resolutions and account mandates.
Advise clients on best practices for using Citi's e-banking platforms, conducting consulting sessions to improve platform adoption and client self-sufficiency.
Monitor and manage the performance of external support teams, holding them accountable to agreed service standards and escalating issues where necessary.
Maintain and develop client relationships through regular communication, proactively informing clients of system disruptions, market events, and resolution timelines.
Identify and escalate control and compliance concerns transparently, applying sound judgement to protect client assets and uphold Citi's standards.
Required qualifications & skills
4-8 years of experience in a client-facing support or technical service role, with demonstrated ability to manage complex issues under tight timelines.
Ability to break down and resolve advanced technical and operational problems, with clear and timely communication to clients and internal teams throughout the process.
Working knowledge of Host-to-Host protocols, encryption types, and connectivity frameworks relevant to corporate banking or e-banking environments.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and practical familiarity with Windows and macOS environments, including browser and Java-based application configurations.
Strong analytical and investigative capability, with a structured approach to diagnosing root causes and implementing lasting solutions.
Ability to manage competing priorities, adapt quickly to shifting circumstances, and deliver consistently under service level pressure.
Availability for scheduled weekend support and flexibility to adjust shift timings based on operational requirements.

Mandarin/Cantonese language proficiency is strongly preferred, given the client base this team supports.
A background in a technical discipline such as IT, systems support, or network infrastructure would be an advantage in this role.

Familiarity with cash management, trade finance, or corporate treasury platforms.
