The posting

The Lead Technical Program Manager, Fraud Technology is responsible for driving end-to-end technology governance, architectural alignment, and delivery execution for Citi’s Enterprise Fraud Prevention initiatives. In this role, you will serve as a technical authority navigating critical cross-functional dependencies across distributed engineering squads, data science teams, core platform services, and risk/compliance partners. You will blend deep systems acumen with executive presence and crisp, diplomatic communication to guide multi-million-dollar programs from architectural discovery through production rollout.

  • Proactively manage complex cross-program dependencies, identifying technical bottlenecks, architectural conflicts, and resource constraints early to formulate and execute effective mitigation plans.
  • Establish rigorous Definition of Done (DoD), release readiness criteria, and robust operational cutover strategies tailored for high-throughput, ultra-low-latency financial transaction systems.

Architecture Alignment, Dependency Management & Systems Integration

Accelerate the generation of executive dashboards, release notes, and milestone variance analytics. Standardize AI-driven delivery best practices, prompts, and reporting templates across participating engineering teams.

Executive Presence & Stakeholder Communication

  • Serve as the primary strategic liaison between engineering teams and executive leadership, articulating delivery health, technical trade-offs, blockers, and architectural risks with clarity, precision, and business context.
  • Influence, negotiate, and align cross-functional stakeholders across organizational boundaries without formal line authority.
  • Author and deliver high-impact executive collateral (executive one-pagers, steering committee presentations, risk heatmaps) and crisp briefings to Senior Leadership (MD/C-suite level).
  • Cultivate strong collaborative partnerships across business units, external technology vendors, operations, internal audit, and technology peers.

Risk, Governance, and Control Management

  • Proactively identify, evaluate, track, and remediate technical program risks, architectural vulnerabilities, and control deficiencies across all delivery tiers.
  • Ensure strict compliance with Citi’s Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) governance, architecture review board standards, data governance policies, and relevant regulatory mandates (e.g., OCC, Federal Reserve, PCI-DSS, Model Risk Management).
  • Champion operational resilience and release integrity, enforcing zero-unauthorized-change policies, comprehensive automated rollback strategies, and stringent incident management protocols.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear business-focused messaging.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
