Director, CCM Quantitative Analytics
London, GB, E14 5HQ
Job description
This is an exciting opportunity to partner with CCM product specialists across the regions to help ensure models and analytics are optimised to serve the CIB franchise and structural market conditions in each region. You’ll support and coordinate workstreams contributing to the build of the industry-leading Python Felis Analytics Platform, working in cross-functional teams to deliver analytics products to the CCM business.
You will also contribute to a global programme to build and utilise a set of tools that leverage capital and credit models to optimise portfolio strategy, improve risk-adjusted returns, and deepen understanding of portfolio risk.
In this role you’ll focus on:
Portfolio analytics & portfolio management
- Develop and enhance portfolio analytics to monitor and explain performance and risk (e.g., concentration, migration, default/loss experience, utilisation, limit and exposure dynamics).
- Produce portfolio optimisation insights to support actions on pricing, limits, appetite, and client/product strategy; help quantify trade-offs between growth, profitability, and capital consumption.
- Design and run stress/scenario and sensitivity analysis to understand portfolio behaviour under changing market conditions and inform strategic decisions.
- Translate analytics into decisions: draft clear recommendations, options, and impacts for senior stakeholders; support tracking of outcomes and iteration.
Credit, capital and pricing analytics
- Use statistical profiling of dispersed datasets representing inputs into return-on-equity to identify opportunities to optimise profitability metrics, with a focus on product pricing and capital efficiency.
- Contribute to the design, calibration, and ongoing performance monitoring of relevant credit/capital frameworks, bringing commercially grounded analysis and constructive challenge.
- Partner with stakeholders across CCM, Group Risk Analytics, and wider Global Businesses & Functions (e.g., IT, Wholesale Data, Treasury, Finance) to deliver analytics and help embed them into business processes.
- Act as a trusted partner to stakeholders by communicating clearly, surfacing risks/issues early, and helping remove barriers to delivery through influencing and collaboration.
- Manage delivery of assigned workstream components, with effective prioritisation and timely escalation where needed.
- Ensure work adheres to HSBC’s Operational Effectiveness & Controls policies and complies with all required internal policies and external rules/laws.
To be successful in this role you should meet the following requirements:
- Broad-based banking experience in financial services; preference for experience in credit, rates, or cash management markets.
- Strong portfolio analytics and/or portfolio management experience, ideally in a quant/strats/analytics environment (e.g., portfolio monitoring, optimisation, stress/scenario analysis, concentration and limit analytics, risk-adjusted performance).
- Highly numerate with hands-on coding skills (e.g., Python, C++) and solid software development experience; comfortable contributing to production-grade analytics under established engineering standards.
- Strong commercial acumen and execution capabilities, with experience in a strats, quant, analytics, or data function.
- Experience working with financial data and large datasets; ability to define data requirements and improve data quality & lineage in partnership with data & technology teams.
- Motivated quick thinker with innovative problem-solving skills and a pragmatic delivery mindset.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, including preparing materials and presenting analysis/recommendations to senior management and other stakeholders.
