Your career opportunity

The role has been created primarily to provide high-quality programming bandwidth into Financial Engineering unit within Global Risk Analytics (GRA).

The AVP Financial Engineering will contribute to all aspects of programming work—within potentially several prototyping teams—in the construction and testing of analytic platforms. The role requires a high degree of flexibility as projects will require the Model developer to alternate rapidly between two very different operating modes:

a. rapid prototyping in the construction of proof-of-concept platforms.

• The role will be instrumental in the accelerated development of prototypes that could materially influence the process of risk analysis and risk measurement at HSBC.

• The new platforms and methods created by this unit will (1) substantially improve the consistency of risk model development across HSBC; (2) streamline the operational profile of model development projects (reducing costs and time); (3) reduce the risk of project failure; and (4) dramatically improve the model deployment process.

• The unit will provide a reference point for the exploration of advanced methods for other teams in GRA.

• The unit will foster innovation in risk measurement and prototype modern processes of model development.

• The development of this role, and R&D unit, will position HSBC as a leading research house for the modernisation of risk analytics within the banking sector.

• Collaborate with other developers, data analysts and modellers across other project streams.

• Actively contribute to creating an open, collaborative problem-solving environment that is critical to rapid prototyping environment.
