Citi recruitment 2026: securities and derivatives analyst, Chennai

Zero to two years of relevant work is the line on this posting. So a fresher can apply. Citi recruitment 2026 is open in Chennai. The role is a Securities and Derivatives Analyst. The job number is 99664827168.

Citi also calls the role an intermediate level post. Both lines sit on the same listing. Read them side by side. The bar for years of work starts at zero. The work itself is called intermediate.

The job sits in Operations, Transaction Services. Citi files it under the job family Securities and Derivatives Processing.

What the analyst does all day

Orders come in from trading desks and branch offices. You process them. You do that with the Operations, Transaction Services team.

The stated aim is to help clear and settle client trades. You also look into the ones that go wrong. In plain words: a trade happens, and you make sure it lands.

The eight duties on the Citi recruitment 2026 posting

• Process trades. Give traders input. Help review the derivative products.
• Find and fix settlement issues. Send ideas for a better process up to your leads.
• Read and check reports for managers. Citi calls them moderately complex.
• Watch for errors and suggest fixes. That keeps the risk to the bank low.
• Push issues up to the right team. Then work with them on a fix.
• Build and check reports. Follow the standards your lead sets.
• Help with control work. Help launch new products and services.
• Keep every process in line with audit and control rules.

Citi adds one more line under that list. It says other duties may be given as needed. So the eight above are the core. They are not the limit.

There is a risk note on this listing too. Read it before an interview. Citi asks you to weigh risk in each business call. It asks you to follow the law and the rules. It asks for sound ethics in how you behave. And it asks you to report control issues in the open.

Who can apply, in Citi's own words

The education line reads like this. A bachelor's or university degree, or the same by work, in Business, Accounting or Finance.

That names three subjects. Computer applications and engineering are not on the list. So if you are from BCA or B.Tech, your stream is not named here. Read the rules on the Citi site yourself before you fill the form.

Four more lines sit under that.

• 0 to 2 years of relevant work.
• A basic grasp of Treasury products, accounting and the rules that govern them.
• Proof you can run more than one task at once, in a high risk setup.
• Proven skill with macros.

Citi also asks that you can work at a fast pace.

Macros and Treasury: the two lines that decide this one

Most people will read the macros line and move on. Do not. It is the only hard tech skill on the whole posting. It is also the easiest one to prep.

Treasury products work the same way. The posting asks for a basic grasp of them, not deep skill. Know what a settlement is. Know what clearing means. Know how a derivative differs from a plain security. That will take you further than a broad finance answer.

Place, pay and work type

The place is Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The time type on the listing is full time.

Citi has put up no pay figure for this job. The pay field on the listing is blank. So any number you see for it elsewhere did not come from Citi.

There is no last date either. The link was live when this page went up.
