We are looking for an experienced Business Manager at HSBC Private Bank
This role sits within the Distribution Business Management team, acting as a strategic enablement partner to Distribution leadership and as a key driver of performance, governance, cost discipline, and transformation delivery. The remit has also evolved to play a meaningful role in shaping and delivering our Women & Wealth proposition—a growth priority aligned to the CEO’s vision and future opportunities across family offices, women, and next-gen clients.
If you’re a commercially-minded business manager who can combine structure with creativity—building plans, influence, and momentum in an evolving space—this is a high-impact opportunity.
Key responsibilities
- Enable Distribution strategy and leadership cadence: coordinate priorities, roadmaps, forums, and materials, ensuring alignment to overall PB strategy.
- Drive business performance insights: oversee dashboards, scorecards, and monthly performance packs (via offshore support), translating data into clear takeaways and escalations.
- Support CEO/Executive agenda and communications: coordinate inputs, develop briefing packs, and shape messaging for senior stakeholders.
- Deliver transformation and change: mobilise and govern key initiatives (including VSIP demand/prioritisation), improve ways of working, and drive automation/optimisation across reporting and processes.
- Own cost, resource, and workforce discipline: manage direct cost views (FRP/forecast/run rate), support resource planning, and identify sustainable optimisation opportunities.
- Run governance, risk, and controls: coordinate governance forums and follow-ups, maintain BCM across onshore/offshore teams, and support a strong compliance and controls culture in line with internal procedures.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
