CitibankThe Wholesale Lending Operations Servicing & Booking Intermediate Analyst (C11) sits within the Loan Agency and Loan Operations teams at Citigroup Global Markets Japan Inc. and is targeted at Officer level and below. This is a hands-on operational role where the primary focus is on Loan Agency functions — the successful candidate will be expected to act as a core member of the Loan Agency Team, taking ownership of syndicated loan servicing responsibilities across the full deal lifecycle. Beyond the agency mandate, the candidate will also be called upon to support the Loan Operations team on an ongoing basis — particularly in the areas of deal booking, journal entry (JE) processing, and general ledger management. The role additionally offers exposure to system enhancement initiatives, where the candidate will collaborate with operations and technology colleagues to help shape and improve the platforms and tools that power Wholesale Lending Operations. This position is an excellent opportunity for junior professionals who are motivated to build deep expertise in the syndicated lending space while gaining meaningful cross-functional experience. The successful candidate handles most day-to-day operational challenges independently, applies structured analytical thinking, and escalates appropriately when required. Citi is committed to building a future-ready operations team, and candidates who embrace innovation — including the adoption of AI-assisted tools — are strongly encouraged to apply. The individual must be accountable, ethical, results-oriented, trustworthy, and credible.
- More than 4 years of relevant experience at a financial institution; prior exposure to syndicated lending, loan agency operations, or loan operations is advantageous but not mandatory for strong candidates demonstrating a commitment to development. - Reasonable knowledge of business processes, systems, and tools used in the loan process, including deal booking workflows, GL/JE entry principles, loan reconciliation practices, and cash settlement. - Awareness of managing, preparing, and reviewing loan documentation, including credit agreements, facility letters, and agent bank notices within a syndicated loan context. - Familiarity with LoanIQ (Finastra LoanIQ) or equivalent loan management systems is a significant advantage; candidates with hands-on LoanIQ experience in deal booking, servicing, or reconciliation are strongly preferred. - Adequate ability to identify, mitigate, manage, resolve, and escalate risks and issues. - Demonstrated commitment to complying with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and adhering to internal policies. - Applies analytical thinking and knowledge of data analysis tools and methodologies relevant to loan operations. - Open mindset toward AI and emerging technologies: Candidates should be willing and curious to explore AI-assisted tools in the context of operations workflows, including intelligent automation, data analysis support, and AI-powered document processing. Prior experience with AI tools is not required, but a genuine interest in learning and adopting new technologies is expected.
- Bachelor's degree or university equivalent; or commensurate professional experience in banking or financial services operations.
