Manager– Operational Design & Delivery

If you’re looking to take an exciting new direction with your HSBC career, an internal move can open the door to many opportunities, allowing you to take on a new challenge, and develop your skills. Bring your knowledge of our brand to a new role and grow yourself further.

We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Manager– Operational Design & Delivery within our HSBC Asset Management Alternatives team. The team is building out its global operating model to support a fast-growing platform spanning private markets, hedge funds, real assets, infrastructure and private debt. The purpose of this role is to partner with stakeholders globally to design, document and embed scalable operating models, controls and third-party service arrangements that enable new investment capabilities and strengthen existing ones.

A move across the business allows you to continue to access tailored professional development opportunities, and our fantastic benefits packages.

In this role you will:

  • Support the design and set-up of operating models for new and evolving Alternatives capabilities, including portfolio/fund structures across asset classes, countries and entities.
  • Help deliver changes to existing operating models to reflect new services, processes, controls and regulatory expectations.
  • Contribute to a global operating framework, including complexity and risk assessments, and end-to-end documentation aligned to HSBC standards.
  • Drive end-to-end process mapping in collaboration with Functional Architecture, 1st Line of Defence Risk & Controls and 2nd Line of Defence to ensure appropriate review and assurance.
  • Assist with third-party provider engagement (e.g., fund administrators, loan services, transfer agents, custodians, cash management solutions), including initial set-up and ongoing service assessment.
  • Support inorganic initiatives and cross-border transactions by contributing to operational due diligence, integration planning, impact/cost assessment, and risk & issues management.

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.
