HSBC is an extremely diverse business with significant geographical spread and activities that span a universal banking model, including continuing to innovate to keep abreast of changes in financial services markets globally. Such activity is in an increasingly regulated and complex global environment with often little consistency between laws and regulations in different jurisdictions and regulators taking a far more proactive approach in ensuring local compliance with their requirements and imposing increasingly stringent sanctions for breaches.

The role will assist the Group in achieving a balance between the demands of regulators, external bodies and governmental initiatives and the Group’s shareholders and customers in enacting FC compliance; being alive to the political, management, regulatory and reputational implications of a particular decision and courses of action at a global level; assisting executive management in the development of controls and systems and influencing the way in which the business is conducted in order to manage these risks, meeting Group risk appetite. The increased focus on individual liability for senior managers, particularly Risk Heads, makes it increasingly important for the Group to be able to evidence adequate systems and controls. The role is one where regulatory authorities have high expectations and is likely to come under scrutiny as part of any major regulatory investigation.
