In this role, you will lead the adoption of risk and control frameworks within HSBC’s GCIO area, turning policy into practical execution and clear governance. You’ll partner with senior stakeholders, support audit and regulatory responses, and deliver executive-level reporting that improves resilience, cybersecurity, and control effectiveness.
As an HSBC employee in the UK, you’ll have access to tailored professional development opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package.

- Provide oversight and constructive challenge on residual risk decisions to ensure alignment with policy, risk appetite and regulatory expectations.
- Support R&C engagement with Group Internal Audit (GIA) and External Audit, including evidence expectations and assurance responses.
- Draft and quality assure Board committee and regulatory materials that clearly articulate risk posture, key issues and mitigation plans.
To be successful in this role you should have the following skills:
- Hands‑on technology risk management, governance and frameworks experience (designing/embedding).
- Strong knowledge of Operational Resilience, Cybersecurity and IT risk frameworks (e.g., NIST, COBIT, ITIL).
- RCA delivery and executive risk profile reporting (inherent/residual risk, appetite positioning, themes/trends).
- Ability to draft Executive/Board Committee‑ready papers and senior executive briefings.
- Senior stakeholder management, including engagement with 3LoD/External Audit and understanding evidence standards and control design/operating effectiveness.
- Leading and providing line management of a supporting team.
