Job description

Snr Manager, Business Planning Management (Malaysia, India)

This role could be based in Malaysia and India. When you start the application process you will be presented with a drop‑down menu showing all countries; please ensure that you select a country where the role is based.

This role is the heartbeat of how the Technology & Operations (T&O) Risk & Control function connects, communicates, and delivers on its People and strategic agenda. As the Snr Business Planning Manager, you will work directly with the Head of Risk Strategy & Transformation and the Global Head of T&O Risk & Control to shape and drive the overarching function‑wide strategy, with a particular focus on financials, workforce planning, people engagement and leadership visibility.

Your primary focus will be to work on all activities related to financials & workforce planning so that the management team is provided with full administrative support when making both tactical & strategic decisions.

You will also play an important role in people engagement space—planning and executing the annual people cycle covering everything from objective setting and performance tracking to engagement surveys, promotions, and talent development planning.

You will be the architect behind our communication narrative: managing Town Halls, executive messaging, people announcements, and leadership materials that define the tone and direction of the function. Whether it’s coordinating global initiatives like well‑being programmes or celebrating cultural milestones and staff achievements, you’ll bring the function to life for our people.

Success in this role requires outstanding planning, execution, and communication skills—both written and visual. You must be a natural collaborator, highly organised, and comfortable managing multiple priorities under tight timelines. Above all, you should care deeply about building an inclusive, high‑performing culture that reflects our values and ambitions.

This role presents an ample opportunity for growth for the right incumbent, as it can expand into a full‑fledged Business Planning Manager role supporting a senior SCB staff.
