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 several experienced professionals to join our team in the role of Senior Manager Business Partner within one of these three areas: Finance COO, FP&A or IWPB. These roles report into the Global Finance COO function and will be important in driving Finance operating model design and delivery for the function.

These roles will offer strong “change & insight” opportunities where you’ll help shape and deliver Finance’s operating model, drive the simplification agenda across functions and project teams, and provide sharp cost and performance insight (actuals/forecast review, challenge and operational commentary) that influences decisions. These roles will also offer a broad, high-exposure opportunity partnering with senior stakeholders and delivery leads to embed operating model and control design principles, using data to generate insights beyond existing MIS, and supporting key strategic initiatives (location strategy, business continuity, target operating models and business plans). If you like pace and impact, you’ll also get hands-on programme delivery experience planning milestones and dependencies, tracking opex/capex against business cases, managing risks/issues, and identifying scalable opportunities to reduce cost, improve efficiency and enhance user/client experience.

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.
