About the role
Ready to deliver HSBC’s next-generation model inventory platform?
Why HSBC
HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world. Guided by our purpose of opening up a world of opportunity, our ambition is to become the world’s most trusted bank globally, putting customers at the heart of everything we do.
The Role
The Agile Delivery Director role is an exciting opportunity to join Risk and Compliance Transformation on a 12 month Fixed Term Contract. This role owns the end-to-end delivery of a new Model Risk strategic platform that will be the central inventory for models used in business decision-making, risk management and reporting. The new platform will replace legacy tooling and manage the model lifecycle (Identification & Onboarding, Validation, Approval, Implementation and Monitoring). You’ll deliver a compliant, resilient platform, partnering closely with the Model Risk Management (MRM) team as the system owner. The work supports the Group Model Risk Policy and strengthens control outcomes across completeness, accuracy, timeliness and auditability.
Success means delivering to agreed scope, timeline and budget with strong adoption across model owners and approvers. It also means a controlled migration between Model Risk platforms with reconciled data quality and minimal disruption. You’ll operate in a highly regulated environment with close engagement across Risk, Technology, Audit and regulatory-facing teams. The delivery approach is Agile at scale, coordinating Product Owners and technology teams across value streams.
