- Negotiate rates and fee structures with outside counsel to ensure competitive and cost-effective arrangements. Create formal confirmations of rate deals with law firms.
- Analyze and benchmark outside counsel rates and financial data.
- Manage and advise both internal and external stakeholders on questions and issues related to outside counsel engagement.
- Strategize and manage the use of outside counsel on Citi’s Legal Network.
- Support with conflict of interest management, when required.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen relationships with outside counsel through the use of alternative methods, including technology and collaboration with Alternative Legal Service Providers (ALSPs).
- Support the management and execution of Citi’s Outside Counsel Terms of Engagement. Identify and mitigate legal and financial risks associated with outside counsel engagements, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and company policies.

The Outside Counsel Engagement Manager will work in close daily collaboration with other GLS teammates at all levels across functions including Finance, Technology, Project Management and Operations while adhering to GLS program goals and priorities, evaluating complex legal and operational issues and impact to Citi businesses and Citi’s broader legal organization.
