• Stakeholder Engagement: Participate and present in regular stakeholder sessions with teams such as Product Control, Development, Market Risk, and Front Office to stay updated on ongoing projects and deliverables.
• Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate efficiently with a diverse team across different locations and communicate transparently with management, respecting HSBC’s values by seeking different perspectives and collaborating across boundaries.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable experience with coding on Python or C++ is essential.
• Knowledge and experience of financial products, particularly in one asset class, such as Rates, Credit, FX, or Equities.
• Familiarity with Valuation Adjustments (XVA), Funding, and Liquidity is advantageous.
• Experience of building and maintaining strong relationships with senior stakeholders (all levels of seniority, businesses, and geographies).

The base location for this role will be London and with a hybrid working pattern.
