About the business area

Global Payment Solutions (GPS) is a multi-award winning team who helps clients make payments across borders, across currencies and regulations, quickly and efficiently.

Who you are

We're looking for people who love building connections and solving complex problems, and want to make a real impact in the world of global payments. You don't need to know everything about transaction banking - bring your curiosity and drive, and we'll help with the rest.
You could be a great fit if you're:

• A natural collaborator: You enjoy working closely with colleagues at all levels and across teams to deliver the right solution.
• An effective communicator: You know how to explain ideas clearly, both in writing and conversation, even when things get technical.
• Ownership mindset: You take pride in your work, stay motivated and accountable.
• Eager to learn: You're genuinely interested in how financial services and technology evolve - and how clients benefit from that innovation.
• An analytical thinker: You look for smarter ways of working, use data to back up your ideas, and want to create better experiences for clients.
• A people person: You enjoy building relationships and learning from how others do it - so you can develop your own authentic style.

What you'll do

You'll be part of a specialist team focused on a specific product area, while gaining exposure across other parts of the business. This is a hands-on role - no shadowing here.
Here's a taste of what you could get involved in:

• Join one of our core teams - Sales, Product Management, Client Management, Business Management, or Chief Control Office - and help solve real client problems.
• Learn how we match the right financial products to the right clients - whether that's payment tools, cards, or liquidity solutions.
• Help ensure our services meet international compliance requirements and local regulations.
• Discover how we use AI, APIs, Cloud and automation to improve client services.
• Contribute to internal work: create dashboards, support PowerPoint presentations, and help senior team members with key client-facing materials.
• Support efforts that keep HSBC competitive in global payment trends, like real-time payments and virtual accounts.

What you'll learn

• Structured onboarding: In week one, you'll take part in a tailored training programme that builds both your technical understanding and professional skills.
• Technical product knowledge: You'll develop a working knowledge of core financial solutions, including:
• Liquidity and Investment products - tools to optimise balance sheets and forecast cashflow.
• Payments - solutions to move money domestically and globally, including real-time and omnichannel tools.
• Cards - tools to help clients manage and monitor corporate spending.
• Broader exposure: You'll learn from cross-functional teams across HSBC.
