What this job asks for AI summary
This senior individual-contributor/leadership role at Citi is responsible for building and owning the AI risk and governance framework for the Trade & Working Capital Solutions franchise across 160+ countries. Day-to-day work spans AI risk registers, model lifecycle governance, explainability tooling (SHAP, LIME), regulatory audit readiness, and cross-market compliance with frameworks such as SR 11-7 and the EU AI Act. The role suits a seasoned AI/ML governance professional with deep financial-services risk experience.

Why we read it this way (6)
The SOC classification is genuinely ambiguous. The role's primary day-to-day work is AI/ML risk governance and model risk management — closer to Data Scientists (15-2051) than to any other available code — but the scope, seniority, and cross-functional leadership responsibilities also fit Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021). The posting does not explicitly describe direct reports or budget ownership, so 15-2051 is used as primary with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
The job title uses 'SVP', which at Citi is a broad internal band rather than a true executive title; the role is framed as a senior individual contributor / programme owner rather than a people manager, so seniority is assessed as Senior rather than Staff or Principal despite the 12+ year requirement and global scope.
The advanced degree (MSc/MBA) and professional certifications (GARP-MRM, CAIGP, CRISC, etc.) are listed under 'Beneficial skills & qualifications' and are therefore preferred, not required.
AWS, Azure, and GCP appear only under optional certifications ('cloud AI/ML specializations'), so they are marked preferred; AWS is listed as primary with Azure and GCP as alternatives since all three are mentioned equivalently.
The Job Family Group is listed as 'Institutional Sales / Corporate Access', which appears to be an internal Citi classification mismatch with the actual role content; the extraction is based on the substantive role description.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI/ML governance, Model Risk Management, OCC Model Risk guidance.
