We’re looking for an experienced Business Solution Architect to shape the target-state architecture for our Alternatives business within Asset Management—helping us modernise platforms, data and operating models across private markets. If you enjoy turning strategy into practical roadmaps, influencing senior stakeholders, and designing scalable solutions that meet regulatory and governance expectations, this role puts you right at the centre of meaningful transformation.

This includes private healthcare for all UK-based employees, enhanced maternity and adoption pay and support when you return to work, and a contributory pension scheme with a generous employer contribution.

In this role you’ll:

• Define, implement and maintain the target-state business and technology architecture for the Alternatives business.
• Translate business strategy into clear architectural roadmaps and solution designs aligned with HSBC Group standards.
• Ensure architecture direction supports global Asset Management objectives and Alternatives growth plans.

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

• Strong Asset Management / Alternatives track record, with deep understanding of private markets (private equity, private credit, real assets, hedge funds).
• Business Architecture or Solutions Architecture background within asset or investment management.
• Solid data architecture capability, including data lineage, data flows, integration patterns and data governance.
• Extensive exposure to end-to-end Alternatives operating models, with hands-on experience of leading platforms (e.g., Allvue, eFront, Arcesium, SimCorp, BlackRock Aladdin, Investran, or similar).
• Awareness and practical exposure to emerging technologies (e.g., AI/ML, blockchain) applied to an Alternatives context.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management and documentation skills, with the ability to work effectively across regions, time zones and a matrixed organisation.
