If you’re looking to take an exciting new direction with your HSBC career, an internal move can open the door to many opportunities, allowing you to take on a new challenge, and develop your skills. Bring your knowledge of our brand to a new role and grow yourself further.

Join Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in a high-impact Business Oversight role, providing a connected enterprise view of risk to help senior leaders make informed, risk-based decisions. You’ll shape how the enterprise risk story is constructed and communicated—synthesising interconnected risks into one clear, forward-looking narrative for key stakeholders and committees, highlighting what’s changing, why it matters, and what to do next.

In this role you will:

• Drive the embedding of the Risk Management Framework and its continuous enhancement and simplification across IWPB.
• Deliver high-quality risk reporting and disclosure materials for senior management committees, providing clear and decision-useful insight, and ensuring stakeholders understand the IWPB’s risk profile, risk appetite position, and governance narrative.
• Provide Enterprise Risk insights that connect the dots across risk stripes, perform risk aggregation and cross-risk analysis and provide a holistic view for IWPB CRCO and senior management.
• Support CRCO as cross-functional integration point for enterprise initiatives spanning multiple risk areas, coordinate cross-risk activities and provide a single, coherent view.
• Provide oversight for IWPB of cross-cutting risks under ERM stewardship and relevant to IWPB including strategic execution, climate and sustainability, reputation, AI and DAC.
• Lead a small, agile team and role-model strong risk culture behaviours, including coaching and mentoring across global virtual teams.

To be successful in this role you should meet the following requirements:

• Experience in risk management within a Globally Significant Financial Institution (GSFI), with deep expertise in frameworks for risk management and risk appetite and strong working knowledge across major risk types.
• Ability to provide robust and constructive challenge to the Business, build trusted partnerships, and enable delivery of strategic goals.
• Strong knowledge of HSBC risk governance and non-financial risks frameworks, with experience supporting and delivering change, embedding of policies and processes, and preparing insightful materials for senior audiences.
• Proven ability to build strong networks, work collaboratively across functions and influence senior stakeholders within a matrix organisation; experience leading multi-location teams of professionals.
• Relevant qualifications/experience (degree required; advanced degree preferred) and a track record of constructively challenging the status quo to enable safe growth.

This role can be based in London or Hong Kong on a hybrid working basis.
