Finance & Accounting Jobs in Tampa, FL (Now Hiring) — 1,779 open — Page 20

Citi is seeking a Director of Global KYC Process Reengineering & Simplification to lead a once-in-a-generation transformation of how Know Your Customer operations are designed and delivered on a global scale. In this senior leadership role, you will dismantle overengineered workflows, eliminate waste, and rebuild KYC processes from the ground up — creating a clean, structured data foundation that powers automation, advanced analytics, and future-ready decision technologies. This is a high-visibility, high-impact position at the heart of Citi's operational transformation agenda.

Responsibilities

• Lead comprehensive diagnostic analyses of current-state KYC workflows across all global business units, jurisdictions, and technology platforms, using process mining and data-driven mapping techniques to surface bottlenecks, redundancies, and friction points.

• Design and facilitate high-impact reengineering workshops with senior cross-functional leaders across Operations, Compliance, Technology, and Business to co-create simplified, future-state processes that reduce manual touchpoints and administrative overhead.

• Establish globally standardized operating procedures and process architectures that unify regional and legacy workflows into consistent, high-quality standards — scalable enough to absorb future regulatory change and business growth.

• Partner with Technology, Product, and Engineering teams to define automation requirements and translate simplified process designs into intelligent workflow solutions, including Robotic Process Automation and system integrations.

• Build "intelligent-ready" process architectures where structured, clean data flows seamlessly into advanced predictive and decision-support technologies, eliminating unstructured data and manual intervention points that limit automated throughput.

• Lead enterprise-wide change management — developing communication strategies, training programmes, and adoption plans that guide global operations teams through process transitions and embed a data-first operating mindset.

• Define and govern KPIs covering process quality, cycle time, error rates, and First-Time-Right performance, establishing feedback loops and post-implementation reviews that validate measurable productivity and cost outcomes.

• Ensure all redesigned processes maintain full alignment with global Anti-Money Laundering, Sanctions, and KYC regulatory requirements, balancing operational efficiency with rigorous risk control.

Required qualifications & skills

• 15 or more years of relevant experience in operations, compliance, or transformation roles within financial services, with demonstrated leadership of large, geographically dispersed, multi-country teams.

• A track record of delivering large-scale process transformation programs, including the integration of automation and artificial intelligence to drive measurable efficiency gains in complex operational environments.

• Deep experience managing AML and KYC operational environments, with a thorough understanding of global regulatory requirements and quality control standards.

• Exceptional ability to build and sustain senior stakeholder relationships across business, compliance, and technology functions, securing alignment and buy-in for enterprise-wide change.

• Highly analytical with rigorous attention to detail, combining strong quantitative reasoning with the ability to translate complex process data into clear, actionable solutions.

• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to engage and influence at the most senior levels of a global organization.

• A Bachelor's or University degree is required; a Master's degree is preferred.

Beneficial skills & qualifications

• Hands-on experience with process mining tools (such as Celonis or UiPath Process Mining) and process modelling methodologies used to visualize and diagnose end-to-end operational workflows.

• Practical knowledge of Robotic Process Automation platforms and experience defining business requirements for workflow automation and system integration in a regulated financial services environment.

• A product-oriented mindset with experience translating operational problems into structured, technology-enabled solutions — including exposure to AI-driven decision-support or predictive analytics tools.

• Formal training or certification in Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent process improvement methodologies applied within a global banking or financial services context.
