CSIS (Citi Security Investigative Services) is a corporate security function operating across more than 100 countries, responsible for the security and safety of Citi’s employees and facilities. CSIS leads Citi’s response during security incidents and crisis events, valuing employees who prioritize the well-being of colleagues and respond with urgency to a diverse range of incidents.
This role focuses on program management rather than direct execution, overseeing and coordinating comprehensive security and safety programs for Citi businesses. The primary goal is to maintain a safe environment for clients and employees, protect company assets, and respond effectively to security incidents, thereby safeguarding Citi’s integrity and reputation. This position requires a strategic approach to managing complex security programs across multiple countries or large geographies, ensuring alignment with Citi Security Policy and Standards.

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong leadership, communication, and strategic planning skills, with the ability to manage cross-functional teams and external stakeholders, including vendors, local authorities, and law enforcement.
