This Project Manager role sits within Wholesale Credit and Lending which is the unit within Banking that works across Product, Regional, Country and Sector teams on all lending related activities to generate optimal returns and to manage and minimise risk.
Looking for a Project Manager with an understanding of Credit Risk and the Model lifecycle.
Global Risk Analytics (GRA) is a part of HSBC's Global Risk Function which provides solutions using analytics, tools, and models to identify, measure and manage key risks. GRA currently covers Wholesale Credit and Market Risk, Financial Crime Risk, Regulatory Compliance and Operational Risk. As GRA is focused on model development and ownership, its activities are considered First Line of Defence.
The transformation function is responsible for delivery of change projects across GRA globally, working at local, regional and group levels. The team is responsible for process and organizational change as well as managing systems and technology projects.
The Project Manager role is distinct from the Senior Project Manager role in the scale and importance of the projects they manage and resource pool responsibilities. The Project Manager role is distinct from the Associate Project Manager role in their level of experience and independence as a project manager.
Project Managers are required to take decisions and lead change initiatives and on occasions manage stakeholder and senior management relationships. Project governance must be established, including clear sponsorship, tollgates and steering committee. The jobholder will not be subject to close supervision, and will be expected to exercise independent initiative and judgement in proactively overcoming obstacles to success, dealing with uncertainty and changing circumstances, such as interdependencies, opportunities or risks. He/she will be expected to adopt an agile and flexible approach to work and an outstanding level of professionalism and conduct.
The role holder will operate within the usual authority limits for a Project Manager.
