This is a high-visibility role, providing regular exposure to senior management and key governance forums.

• Produce high-quality report papers for Board and Audit Committee meetings, Operating Company (OpCo) governance and FMM CFO reporting.
• Prepare presentations and supporting materials for the FCA and PRA meetings, ensuring that information is accurate, appropriately evidenced and aligned with regulatory expectations.
• Use of TM1 to retrieve financial information, including actuals, targets and forecasts, and perform analysis to support reporting requirements. Build and maintain reporting outputs and management information using TM1 and other relevant tools.
• Use approved AI tools responsibly to enhance report-writing quality, improve clarity and consistency, and support efficient preparation of management information, subject to HSBC confidentiality, information-security and data-handling requirements.
• Maintain appropriate documentation and audit trails for reporting, analysis and management commentary.

• Demonstrable experience in financial reporting, management information, business analytics or FP&A.
• Strong understanding of financial performance analysis, including actuals, target and forecast comparisons.
• Experience preparing monthly management packs and consolidating commentary from multiple stakeholders.

• Proven ability to translate complex financial and business information into concise, insightful narratives.
• Experience producing high-quality report papers, briefing notes and presentation decks for senior governance or regulatory audiences.
• Practical experience using TM1, or a comparable financial reporting and planning system, to retrieve financial data and build analysis.
• Strong attention to detail, with a clear focus on accuracy, quality and delivery deadlines.
• Demonstrable internal controls experience including maintaining records and implementing audit/ regulatory actions
• Ability to challenge data and commentary constructively, investigate variances and identify the key messages behind the numbers.
