The Value You’ll Add
As a Business Manager within the Frontline Business Performance and Delivery Team, you’ll play a pivotal role in supporting the management, growth, and governance of Frontline Teams across Relationship Banking, Strategic Fund Solutions, and the Chief Commercial Office in the UK Innovation Bank. This is a dynamic position, offering variety and the opportunity to work with stakeholders at all levels—across the Innovation Bank, offshore teams, and HSBC Group.
