About the Role
If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential - whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.
We're one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with a network that covers more than 50 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people to fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.
We're currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Senior Manager - IFRS 9 Accounting and Controls.
You’ll step into a high-profile Senior Manager role within HSBC UK Finance where you own and shape IFRS 9 reporting and controls for the HSBC UK balance sheet, giving you real scale, complexity and visibility to senior leadership. You’ll act as the go-to SME across Finance, build strong engagement with Risk and external assurance, leading review and challenge of key disclosures and regulatory outputs (IFRS/FINREP, Encumbrance, PRA108), running robust analysis on Expected Credit Loss (ECL) and impairment engine data, and driving remediation where issues surface. You’ll also influence change through automation and data quality initiatives, operate key SOX controls, and work with significant autonomy so you can build a broad skillset spanning technical IFRS application, stakeholder management, control discipline and transformation, with the role expected to evolve beyond IFRS 9 into wider operational accounting responsibilities.
