Through Citi's Access Account, Basic Banking, Citi Priority, Citigold and Citigold Private Client, we offer an array of products, services and digital capabilities to clients across the full spectrum of consumer banking needs worldwide.
Citi's **Legal** team supports our business objectives while also identifying, managing and mitigating legal, regulatory and reputational risks. As a member of our Legal team, you would provide the highest quality legal advice and counsel to stakeholders across our firm.
We're currently looking for a high caliber professional to join our team as **Senior Vice President, Legal Counsel, Corporate Finance, Treasury & Trade - Hybrid** (Internal Job Title: Senior Lead Counsel 1 - **C14** ) based in Sydney, Australia. Being part of our team means that we'll provide you with the resources to meet your unique needs, empower you to make healthy decision and manage your financial well-being to help plan for your future.
For instance:
+ We believe all parents deserve time to adjust to parenthood and bond with the newest members of their families. That's why in early 2020 we began rolling out our expanded Paid Parental Leave Policy to include Citi employees around the world.
+ Citi provides access to an array of learning and development resources to help broaden and deepen your skills and knowledge as your career progresses.
+ We offer our employees resources and tools to volunteer in the communities in which they live and work. In 2019, Citi employee volunteers contributed more than 1 million volunteer hours around the world.
The SVP level Legal Counsel position is a member of the Citi Legal, Australia & NZ team, located in Sydney, primarily supporting the Corporate Bank, Commercial Bank, and Treasury & Trade Solutions businesses in Australia and New Zealand. These businesses cover a broad range of corporate finance transactions and banking products, including corporate loans, structured finance, securitisation, acquisition finance, business banking for mid-large cap corporates, commercial real estate financing, receivables finance, letters of credit, payments platforms and corporate credit cards. In conjunction with the other Citi Australia & NZ Legal team members and the APAC regional Citi Legal IB team, there is also the opportunity to gain exposure to debt capital markets, equity capital markets and M&A transactions.
This position supports the breadth of these business areas, along with the other functional teams that also support those businesses and the Citi Australia & NZ businesses.
In addition, owing to the small size of the Citi Australia & NZ Legal team, all members of the Citi Legal team work to support each other as necessary, and are exposed to different areas of work beyond their role. These areas include legal projects involving such things as legislative and regulatory change affecting the broader business, including foreign legislative change affecting the local business and local legislative change affecting Citi businesses outside of Australia. Examples of projects that this position might get involved with are the modern slavery regime, climate reporting, privacy and data protection. All legal team members are expected to handle other cross franchise matters such as licencing queries, outsourcing and procurement contracts.
**As a successful candidate, you're expected to have:**
+ At least 10 years' post-qualification legal experience, either in-house or private practice in a common law jurisdiction
+ Extensive experience in dealing with legal issues and transactions in corporate finance, including acquisition finance, syndicated lending, bilateral secured and unsecured lending, commercial real estate financing, receivables financing and securitisation.
+ Comprehensive knowledge of Australian state and federal applicable laws and practices.
+ Proven analytical and organisational skills
+ A demonstrated ability to provide clear and concise written and verbal communication to varied audiences
+ Some broader commercial law experience
+ Flexibility and willingness to apply their skills to products, issues and legislation, in which they may not have had previous experience.
+ Strong time management skills, practical solutions focused and a history of providing excellent client service.
+ Strong team spirit and enthusiasm; willing to contribute to broader legal team and business initiatives, and to support more junior lawyers in the team.
+ Ability to create and build effective working relationships with colleagues, business and functional teams.
+ A current Australian practicing certificate or an ability to obtain one by the date of commencement
**In this role, you'd ideally have the following skills and exposure:**
+ Experience in dealing with legal issues in transactional business banking, payments platforms and corporate credit cards
+ Experience working across borders in a multi-national environment.
+ NZ legal experience
