If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential - whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or an exciting new direction, we offer opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.

We’re one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with a network that covers more than 50 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.

We’re currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Climate Analytics – Disclosure Associate.

This role sits at the centre of how HSBC explains its financed emissions - covering both methodology and results - in external disclosures. You’ll coordinate drafting across reporting cycles, bringing together inputs from methodology, data analytics, finance, risk, sustainability, investor relations, legal, communications and assurance. The role also supports internal governance and controls so disclosures are evidence-based, traceable and audit ready. Success looks like clear and balanced publication-ready disclosures that reflect evolving industry guidance and regulatory expectations. You’ll help ensure key judgements, assumptions and year-on-year movements are well explained and consistently supported.

As an HSBC employee in the UK, you’ll 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.
