Citi is looking for full-time analysts to join our Markets team in London.

We work on trading floors in over 80 countries, enriching client relationships around the clock. The breadth and depth of our underwriting, structuring, securitisation, sales and trading and distribution capabilities span asset classes and currencies, sectors and industries. And our expertise covers a vast array of products including equities, commodities, credit, futures and foreign exchange (FX). 

Your time here will look something like this

Our program is a highly competitive and selective program that gives you the opportunity to rotate across both product and function. In addition, as a full-time analyst, you will be allocated to a product and given the opportunity to rotate within the product. If none of these terms make sense right now, that's OK! As an analyst, you will join a training program where you will receive an in-depth education to learn the fundamentals of the analyst role and an introduction to Citi's culture.

We’re committed to teaching you the ropes. Citi’s full-time Analyst program starts in the Summer of 2026 and begins with orientation and training. You’ll be introduced to our Fixed Income, Currency, Commodity, and Equity franchises, across sales, trading and structuring. Full time Analysts will gain exposure to senior professionals who will serve as their mentors throughout the program. At the end of the program, our goal is to ensure that Analysts are placed in a role that best pairs their skill sets and personal interests with the needs of the firm.
