If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC and fulfill your potential. Whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support, and rewards that will take you further.

Our Global Private Banking business provides banking, investment, and wealth management solutions to help high net worth clients and their families achieve their ambitions. We also advise on topics including wealth planning, alternative investments, and family governance. Our experts in philanthropy support clients in their objectives to have a positive impact on society. As an HSBC employee in the UK, you will have access to tailored professional development opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package. 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.

The role of Product Specialist Trader will be responsible for performing trade execution across a range of asset classes and markets for HSBC UK’s Advisory, Discretionary, and Execution Only business. This role will also work as part of a team that covers the US market between 13:30 – 21:30 on a rota basis; therefore, the successful candidate must have the flexibility to work to this schedule.

In this role you will:

• Perform trade execution of equities, fixed income, funds, FX (spot & forward), bullion, Dual Currency Investments, and OTC derivatives.
• Have direct client contact to confirm investment instructions, relay market and pricing information, and explain the trading capabilities of the desk.
• Provide support to Investment Counsellors and Relationship Managers, including order entry into Front Office systems.
• Promote execution capabilities both internally and to Private Bank’s client base.
• Work closely with Back Office and Operations on process enhancements and investigation of failed trades.

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

• Significant experience of performing trade execution — essential.
• In-depth working knowledge of a range of asset classes, specifically Bonds, FX, and Equities, would be desirable.
• Private Banking or Wealth Management experience — essential.
• A very high level of attention to detail and the ability to work well under pressure.
• CISI Level 4 qualified or equivalent regulated qualifications — essential.

This role is based in London.
