If you’re looking for a career that will unlock new opportunities, join HSBC and experience the possibilities. Whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.

Our Risk and Compliance function has a critical role to play in supporting, challenging, and advising across all areas of the business through establishing policy, monitoring profiles, and identifying and managing forward-looking risk and compliance.

Already an industry-leader in many respects, we want to continue setting standards and evolving to respond to strategic changes.

The global mission of Surveillance is to safeguard customers and the integrity of financial markets by detecting and deterring market abuse, inappropriate trading and other market conduct risks. In doing so, Surveillance serves to meet HSBC’s regulatory obligations, wider stakeholder expectations, risk appetite and policy requirements.

- Coordinate the definition & delivery of the annual operating plan, strategic objectives and key priorities, both functional and technical, in line with the GHOS’ and wider RC strategy, translating these into tangible deliverables and outcomes. Work closely with the Global Head of RC Change & Digital Enablement to ensure that Surveillance Product management priorities and deliveries are aligned to Surveillance Strategic Objectives.
- Provide leadership and support in engagements with regulators, Internal Audit, external auditors and consultants, Compliance Assurance and Independent Model Review (IMR) in order to ensure Surveillance’s control framework is effectively maintained and continuously enhanced.
