• Established Network & Ecosystem Engagement: Leverage an existing, robust network within the Technology and Healthcare venture capital, private equity, startup, and corporate executive communities to generate qualified referrals and proprietary new business opportunities. Actively engage with key influencers and participate in industry events.
• Client Relationship Management: Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, understanding their complex financial needs, goals, and risk tolerance to provide tailored wealth management solutions that go beyond traditional retirement planning.
• Working with Integrated Client Engagement team to create and manage pipeline between Wealth at Work and Banking
• Educate Bankers in CCB and Corp Bank to increase awareness about our offerings and capabilities.
• Responsible for evaluating client profiles in terms of returns expectation, risk appetite, time horizon, liquidity needs
• Work with extended banking teams to help complete KYC and other due diligence needed when onboarding complex relationships
• Attend client meetings with CCB and Corp Bankers and participate in presentations and sales pitches as needed.
• Appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, demonstrating particular consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients and assets, by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, adhering to Policy, applying sound ethical judgment regarding personal behavior, conduct and business practices, and escalating, managing and reporting control issues with transparency.
