• This is a senior, user-facing leadership role operating across a complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise environment — spanning Service Owners P&R (Performance and Rewards), Enterprise Talent, Enterprise Learning, Payroll, Employee Relations, and others), Global Business lines and Group Infrastructure, and partner teams within PSI (People Strategy and Innovation), Tech, and the Data Analytics Office.
• The incumbent will directly shape how HSBC's people data and insights reach every part of the enterprise — reducing fragmented reporting and building the products that make trusted, self-service, AI-enabled insight the default way people data is consumed across the bank.

In this role, you will:

• Set and continuously evolve the product vision and roadmap across  three product lines.
• Translate enterprise and stakeholder priorities into a coherent, sequenced roadmap and own prioritization trade-offs.
• Lead People Insights: a self-service people analytics platform covering the employee journey across Service Owners and Global Business/Infrastructure.
• Lead Conversational AI for Insights: natural-language Q&A (Quality and Assurance) over people data.
• Lead Data Exploratory Tools: customizable analytics and storyboarding for power users.
• Define people-data acquisition needs and partner with data engineering, governance and HRIT (Human Resource Information Technology ) to sequence onboarding.
• Own PRDs, plans-on-a-page, success measures, delivery rigour, risk assessment and path-to-green recommendations.
• Own end-to-end relationships with enterprise end users and stakeholders, including prioritisation, escalations and senior communications.
• Represent People Data Platform credibly with Service Owners, Global Business/Function leaders and partner teams including PSI, HRIT and DAO (Data Analytics Office)
• Lead Product Managers, Product Specialists and Product Operations while building strong product-management discipline and capability.

To be successful you will:

• 15+ years’ senior experience in product management, strategy, data products, analytics or related disciplines, with a degree or equivalent professional experience.
• End-to-end ownership of global product portfolios, from vision, discovery and strategy through delivery, adoption, improvement and value realisation.
• Proven success developing roadmaps and operating models in complex, regulated organisations, including financial services and global teams.
• Strong expertise in people data, HR technology, workforce analytics, employee experience, data platforms, reporting, insight delivery and self-service analytics.
• Skilled in Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Azure, data warehouses, semantic models, APIs, cloud platforms, data integration and modern data architecture.
• Experienced in conversational AI, generative AI, natural-language search, retrieval-augmented generation, responsible AI, privacy, security, governance, metadata and data quality.
• Translate user and stakeholder needs into prioritised requirements, backlogs, experiments, success measures and outcomes across employee lifecycle, talent, learning, payroll, reward, performance and employee relations.
• Balance customer value, commercial judgement, risk, complexity, scalability and investment, making clear enterprise-wide choices across PGC LTs, Service Owners, Global Businesses, Infrastructure, Data Analytics, HRIT and technology partners.
• Lead through influence, communicate complex topics to executives, manage dependencies and change, build adoption and trust, and coach product managers, operations and specialist teams.
