Senior Manager, Application Development (Python & Spark) - Vice President

Citi Funds Transfer Pricing Application has been built and rolled out to execute Funds Transfer Pricing (“FTP”) Policy globally across Citigroup and for all businesses. Fund Transfer Pricing is a key regulatory function and is very important in how Citi determines the internal transfer price when allocating funds between businesses and treasury. This FTP allocation adjusts the revenues/expenses of businesses for the costs/ benefits associated with funding and liquidity risks taken through asset and liability generation. CitiFTP Application will consolidate the FTP process as a single stop solution to reflect funding costs flowing through a standardized, transparent, and consistent framework with robust oversight and governance.
