The Digital & Client Experience (DCX) team sits at the heart of Citi's consumer strategy - our digital experience is Citi's strategy. DCX manages digital channels that generate over 2 billion annual mobile sessions. With a mandate to run the channel like a channel - balancing service, engagement, and commercial outcomes - DCX is investing in platform modernization, data infrastructure, and AI to deliver faster, smarter, and more personalized experiences at scale.

  • Run the digital channel like a channel - establishing constrained forecasts by outcome (Digital, mobile app, citi.com) on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, managing supply and demand of digital real estate, and ensuring placements reflect Citi's strategy and account for interaction effects.
  • Lead platform modernization and technical debt reduction, including platform migrations, login speed optimization, and the build-out of a scalable CX data foundation that enables faster delivery and platform-level solutions over point solutions.
  • Drive channel availability, stability, and security, partnering with Technology and Cyber/Fraud teams to ensure the digital channel meets the highest standards of reliability, speed, and customer protection.
  • Establish and own channel performance metrics, including Good Login Rate (GLR), Biometric Adoption, channel availability, and session quality - with a focus on removing friction and improving the baseline experience for all customers.
  • Champion a platform-first investment philosophy, driving accountability for shared infrastructure solutions (e.g., data, personalization, content management) that enable the broader DCX portfolio to deliver faster and at greater scale.

  • Strategic thinking and ability to frame platform investment decisions analytically, balancing short-term delivery with long-term scalability and technical health.
  • Superior analytical and practical problem-solving abilities, with comfort navigating complex technical and business trade-offs.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage effectively across technical engineering teams, product managers, and senior business leaders.
  • A strong collaborator with demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional partners across Technology, Cyber, Fraud, Marketing, and LOB teams to drive toward shared platform goals.
  • Highly capable in change management with proven experience driving platform modernization and technical transformation in complex, matrixed organizations.
