• Build and lead an industry sector intelligence program that equips proposals professionals with the contextual knowledge needed to position Citi’s solutions against each client’s specific business environment.

• Drive the adoption of generative AI, intelligent automation, and advanced analytics across the proposals function — leading the transformation of how proposals are produced, personalized, and optimized at scale.
• Manage the global proposals budget, allocating resources effectively across internal and external teams to maximize efficiency and responsiveness to business demand.

• 15+ years of experience, including 8+ years’ managerial experience. Significant experience in proposals, bid management, or client-facing functions within financial services, transaction banking, or a comparable global institution, with a background that spans both strategic and operational ownership.
• Demonstrated ability to lead large, globally distributed teams across multiple geographies and time zones, with direct experience developing and managing regional team leaders.
• Deep knowledge of treasury, trade, and transaction banking products and services, with the ability to engage credibly with product specialists and translate complex capabilities into client-relevant narratives.
• Experience managing outsourced or third-party vendor relationships at scale, including contract governance, capacity planning, and performance management.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of crafting and elevating compelling, client‑centric narratives at a senior level.
• Strong analytical mindset with experience using data and performance metrics to guide resource allocation, identify capability gaps, and improve outcomes across a global function.
• Experience leading significant organizational transformation and change management programs, including technology adoption and process re‑engineering.
• Bachelor’s degree required.

• Advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) that demonstrates strategic thinking and commercial depth.
• Professional certifications in bid management, such as APMP Foundation or Practitioner, that reflect a structured and disciplined approach to proposals excellence.
• Hands‑on experience evaluating, piloting, or implementing AI‑powered tools within a proposals or content function, with the ability to translate technology capabilities into practical workflows for non‑technical teams.
