Manager, Product and Execution Risk Oversight

Some careers have more impact than others.

If you’re looking for a career where you can make a real impression, join HSBC and discover how valued you’ll be.

HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with operations in 64 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people to fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.

We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Manager, Product and Execution Risk Oversight.

Principal responsibilities

Key focus areas include:

• Delivering targeted thematic reviews (planned and ad-hoc) to identify root causes, control gaps, emerging risks and practical remediation actions.
• Providing ongoing risk oversight and monitoring of HK Wealth Management activities, including trend analysis and early warning indicators.
• Supporting the execution of ongoing control testing—planning, evidence gathering, testing, documentation, issue articulation and follow-up tracking.
• Supporting the HK Product & Execution Risk Oversight team with BAU deliverables (e.g., governance materials, MI, action trackers), helping ensure oversight remains consistent, timely and decision-useful.
• Contributing to a forward-looking, future-proof oversight approach—improving how we identify risk, test controls and generate insights, not just how we report them.

Accountabilities for Business, Customers and Stakeholders

• Support the execution of end-to-end thematic reviews: define scope, gather evidence, perform analysis, document findings clearly, and propose practical actions that reduce repeat issues and improve customer outcomes.
• Support risk oversight routines by monitoring key data points and narratives, identifying emerging themes, and escalating concerns early with clear, structured recommendations.
• Deliver high-quality controls testing support by applying consistent testing discipline, maintaining robust documentation, and ensuring findings are clear, factual and actionable.
• Maintain and update issue and remediation trackers, following up with stakeholders to drive closure and ensure fixes land properly into BAU.
• Produce crisp, decision-ready summaries, MI and risk analytics metrics that help HK Product & Execution Risk Oversight team stakeholders see “what’s changed, what it means, and what we should do next”.
• Work effectively across time zones—proactively managing handovers, deadlines and dependencies so delivery remains smooth and predictable for the HK Product & Execution Risk Oversight team team.

Requirements

Functional knowledge

• Strong understanding of wealth management business activities and products, including the practical realities of distribution and customer journeys.
• Working knowledge of risk, controls, governance and/or product oversight concepts, with the ability to apply them pragmatically.
• Strong analytical capability—comfortable moving from detail to insight, and from insight to action.
• Clear, concise communicator with strong written skills (you’ll be turning complex inputs into sharp, usable outputs).

Ways of working / personal attributes

• Attentive to detail with a high bar for accuracy, consistency and evidence quality.
• Pragmatic, common sense approach—able to focus on what matters most and propose workable solutions.
• Can-do attitude and strong ownership mindset: reliable follow-through, resilient under pressure, and comfortable managing shifting priorities.
• Collaborative and proactive—able to build strong working relationships with HK Product & Execution Risk Oversight team stakeholders and keep delivery moving without constant supervision.

Experience

• Solid experience in one relevant area (e.g., controls testing, thematic reviews, business risk, product governance, operations risk, conduct risk, audit/assurance, change risk), ideally within a wealth context.

Communication

• Able to guide and influence through structured communication and practical challenge, building trust through quality, pace and consistency.

Candidate with less relevant experience or skills may be offered a lower Global Career Band than stated above.

Due to the urgent hiring need, candidates with immediate right to work locally and no relocation need will be prioritised.
