London United Kingdom
At Citi Markets, we win together. In a rapidly changing world, our shared vision gives us the clarity, agility and global perspectives we need to shape the future. That's why collaboration plays a central role in how we deliver for clients, develop our people, and grow our business. Our Commodities franchise is uniquely positioned within our global Markets division, offering clients comprehensive coverage across energy, metals, agriculture, and environmental products. We operate across physical and derivative markets, supporting corporate and institutional clients in managing complex price, basis, and volume risks inherent in their operations and portfolios.
As an In Business Risk Vice President/ Director for Commodities, you will serve as a critical first line of defense partner embedded directly within our trading and structuring businesses.

This position offers the rare opportunity to combine deep quantitative risk expertise with commercial acumen, directly influencing trading strategy, capital allocation frameworks, and business performance in one of the most dynamic and complex asset classes in global markets. You will be instrumental in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape, particularly Volcker Rule compliance and FRTB implementation, while driving measurable improvements in risk-adjusted returns.
By joining Citi London, 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:
Alongside these benefits Citi is committed to ensuring our workplace is where everyone feels comfortable coming to work as their whole self, every day.
We want the best talent around the world to be energized to join us, motivated to stay, and empowered to thrive. If you are actively working with clients, have a passion for relationships and want to be part of a successful global franchise – then apply today.
