1. Managing programme delivery proactively, balancing scope, schedule, interdependencies, budget, and risks.
2. Being responsible for effective programme controls and procedures within your initiatives.
3. Managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders effectively.
4. Reporting progress, issues, dependencies, and risks to relevant governance forums, and making recommendations to influence decision-making to maintain progress.
5. Demonstrating role-model behaviors for the function and business, advocating, and championing the HR delivery model, and driving collaboration between HR teams.

To be successful, you should meet the following requirements:

1. Experience working in an HR environment or People support role, such as business partnering or relationship management with business leaders.
2. Experience in project management roles.
3. Ability to model and embody HSBC behaviors, and deal assertively but sensitively with internal and external customers in a matrix environment.
4. Strict adherence to confidentiality, with discretion and integrity.
5. Calmness under pressure and ability to re-prioritize quickly.

This role is based in Leeds, Edinburgh, or London on a hybrid basis.
