Why HSBC
HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world. Guided by our purpose of opening up a world of opportunity, our ambition is to become the world’s most trusted bank globally, putting customers at the heart of everything we do.
The Role
This Director role sits within Markets and Securities Services (MSS) Non-Financial Risk as the Financial Crime Risk (FCR) Lead.

You’ll act as a central stakeholder across 2LoD, 3LoD and Group to shape a consistent and efficient approach to managing AML, Sanctions, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Tax Evasion and Fraud risks. Success means clearer MSS guidance, stronger governance and measurable improvements in control design, monitoring and remediation. You’ll also strengthen oversight through MI, horizon scanning and structured deep-dives that translate emerging issues into practical read-across actions for MSS.
What you'll be doing
- Oversee a team of MSS NFR FCR subject matter experts to support MSS control effectiveness
- Coordinate implementation of Group Financial Crime Risk policies and framework across MSS asset classes
- Publish centralised MSS guidance that simplifies and streamlines financial crime risk articulation across geographies
- Represent MSS in Group FCR governance to ensure MSS requirements are reflected in Group initiatives
- Chair the Global MSS Financial Crime Risk Oversight Meeting and run asset class FCR deep-dives
- Identify, assess and manage control framework risks and issues then escalate to Senior Management where required
- Deliver efficiencies in control design, monitoring and enhancement including large-scale remediation and control uplift programmes
- Oversee global MSS MI and horizon scanning including read-across from internal and external enforcement actions and emerging trends
