About the Role
As a Major Incident Senior Analyst within the Business Command Center (BCC), you will be a cornerstone of Citi's global Services business resilience strategy. This role places you at the intersection of business continuity, incident response, and stakeholder leadership — where your decisions directly protect client experience and operational integrity.
You will own the end-to-end management of Major Incidents, Cyber Events, and Operational Risk Events affecting the Services business and its clients. Acting as the critical bridge between business and technology, you will lead with a client-first mindset, translate complexity into clarity, and drive swift, structured resolution across all incident lifecycle stages.

- Apply experienced judgment to assess incident impact, severity classification, and ownership, ensuring the right teams are engaged at the right time.
- Command large, high-stakes incident calls with confidence — managing diverse participants, leadership stakeholders, and cross-functional recovery teams with structure and clarity.
- Drive incidents to resolution, ensuring all management goals, milestones, and SLA commitments are met.
- Audit Incident Management Status and Metrics Reports for accuracy, consistency, and timeliness prior to distribution.
- Navigate high-pressure scenarios with agility — resolving conflicts, applying creative problem-solving, and adapting to rapidly shifting business conditions.
- Lead the business response to cyber events, working in close coordination with Information Security, Business, and Technology partners.
- Represent the BCC in regional, global, and executive-level tabletop exercises to maintain a continuous state of operational readiness.
Operational Risk Events

Strategic Initiatives — War Room Planning & Execution
- Lead project management and readiness efforts for Safety & Soundness events, including end-to-end War Room planning and execution for major event Go-Lives.
