Some careers open more doors than others!
If you’re looking for a career that will unlock new opportunities, join HSBC and experience the possibilities. Whether you want a role that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.
As an HSBC employee in the UK, you will have access to tailored professional development opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package. This includes private healthcare for all UK-based employees, enhanced maternity and adoption pay and support when you return to work, and a contributory pension scheme with a generous employer contribution.
Global Internal Audit (GIA) helps the Board and Group OpCo to protect the assets, reputation and long-term financial sustainability of HSBC by finding issues and escalating them quickly so that management can act fast. GIA does this by providing an independent and objective assessment of the bank’s risk management framework, and control and governance processes, to check they are adequately designed and operating effectively.
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Governance Audit team is responsible for audit coverage of the management of the ERM Framework (including the management of operational and resilience risks) and Corporate Governance across HSBC Group. This is achieved through direct audit coverage, led from within the ERM and Governance Audit team, as well as providing subject-matter expertise to monitor and direct the audit coverage across GIA.
We are currently seeking an experienced individual to join the ERM and Governance Audit team in the role of Senior Audit Manager. As the Senior Audit Manager, you should have an appreciation of ERM Frameworks and Resilience Risk. You would give credible and effective evaluations of the design and operation of the ERM Framework and Resilience Risk Stewardship, presenting conclusions to senior audit and business management.
In this role, you will:
Co-ordinate and lead audit assignments of the ERM Framework and Resilience Risk Stewardship, ensuring they are delivered in line with expected timeframes, GIA standards, budget and best practices.
Be responsible for the execution of all stages in the audit lifecycle: audit announcement, team management and preparation, scoping, planning, fieldwork, documentation and review, issue writing and agreement, report delivery, post-report issue validation, and ongoing stakeholder engagement.
Devise, develop and champion the use of relevant audit techniques and approaches to drive operational effectiveness and improve management of audit assignments.
Maintain and enhance stakeholder relationships through constructive challenge, value adding engagement and keeping up to date with business, regulatory and industry developments.
Support colleagues, by coaching and mentoring audit team members and facilitating a culture of continuous learning.
To be successful in this role you should meet the following requirements:
Experience of working in internal audit or a similar role.
Relevant professional experience/knowledge of the business and regulatory environment impacting ERM / Operational Risk and Resilience Risk, including developing trends, risks, controls and expectations.
An analytical and critical thinker, who can effectively manage competing priorities and complex challenges to deliver positive outcomes.
Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to effectively discuss potentially challenging matters and successfully negotiate the acceptance of audit findings and outcomes.
Experience in defining and utilising data-driven techniques including data analytics, process mining and data visualisation is desirable but not essential.
