About This Role

Citizens is seeking a Payment Network Compliance Analyst to support our sponsorship oversight program within the Payments Risk organization. This role is responsible for ensuring adherence to Visa, Mastercard, and Discover network rules across merchant and third-party relationships.

  • Background in:ย 
    • Payments operations
    • Fraud / Rules in payments context (not required but helpful)
  • Experience improving or optimizingย compliance workflows or tracking processes

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not a traditionalย TPRM / vendor risk / IT GRC role

Team & Leadership

  • Reports toย Director - Sponsorship Oversight (Payments Risk)
  • Team operates in aย high-growth, high-volume environment
  • Strong cross-functional exposure acrossย Payments, Risk, and Compliance
