Help shape and drive HSBC's Technology & Cyber Security resilience agenda across IWPB.

• Hold risk and control owners accountable for control design and operating effectiveness, driving timely remediation and sustainable improvements where gaps are identified.
• Provide senior oversight and challenge for GRR and regulatory reporting (e.g., RAS, top & emerging risks, risk profile reporting, RMM and relevant Board reporting), ensuring quality, consistency and clear executive narrative.
• Lead horizon scanning across regulatory, technology and threat landscapes, translating external developments into actionable resilience risk priorities and control expectations.

• Experience in risk management within a Globally Significant Financial Institution (GSFI), with strong understanding of resilience risk and its commercial and strategic impact.
• Advanced knowledge of the relevant regulatory landscape, with the ability to assess the impact of proposed regulatory change relating to resilience risk.
• Deep technical expertise in resilience risk (identification, assessment, monitoring, control and mitigation) and a track record of providing expert advice and robust challenge.
• Proven ability to build strong stakeholder networks and influence effectively within a complex matrix organisation, including engagement with regulators/audit where needed.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences in a persuasive and compelling way, role-modelling strong risk culture behaviours.
