HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with operations in 64 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 have a brand-new opportunity for an experienced professional to join Global Trade Solutions (GTS) in the role of Senior Product Manager. This role shapes the innovation agenda across the Global Trade Products portfolio, connecting client demand with fintech and technology capabilities and turning ideas into practical outcomes.

You’ll partner with Product Directors across Traditional and Structured Trade to identify where technologies such as generative AI, agentic AI, digital currencies and digital assets can improve trade finance. Success means taking opportunities from concept to implementation and scale while improving client experience, processing efficiency, transparency, connectivity and the use of liquidity. You’ll also ensure innovation initiatives operate within HSBC’s risk and control framework, so solutions are secure, scalable and commercially viable.

In this role you’ll:

• Develop and commercialise new trade propositions, partnering across Product, Sales, Client Management, Operations and Technology
• Assess use cases for generative AI, agentic AI, digital currencies, emerging payments, digital assets and other relevant technologies in trade finance
• Engage clients to understand evolving trade requirements and pain points and translate them into enhancements and new propositions aligned to Traditional Trade strategy
• Build engagement with fintechs, technology platforms and ecosystem participants including solutions leveraging APIs and distributed ledger technology
• Influence industry initiatives and standards to improve interoperability and connectivity across the trade ecosystem
• Govern innovation initiatives within HSBC’s risk and control framework, partnering with Risk, Compliance, Legal, Technology and Operations to ensure solutions are practical, secure and scalable

To be successful in this role you should meet the following requirements:

• Bring proven trade-finance experience with a strong understanding of Documentary Trade products and processes
• Demonstrate product management, product development, commercialisation and/or implementation experience in transaction banking, trade finance or a similar regulated environment
• Apply strong knowledge of trade-finance process digitisation and where technology can improve client and operational outcomes
• Show familiarity with digital platforms, APIs, fintech solutions and emerging technologies relevant to trade including distributed ledger technology
• Evidence understanding of digital currencies and emerging payment and settlement technologies and their potential application to global trade
• Translate technology potential and client requirements into practical, commercially viable propositions with clear benefits
• Deliver complex cross-functional programmes from concept and design through pilot, implementation and business-as-usual adoption
• Operate confidently within product governance and regulated risk and control environments including third-party and implementation governance
• Develop business cases and define measurable success criteria and KPIs to track benefits realisation

As an HSBC employee in the UK, you will have access to tailored professional development opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package. This includes private healthcare for all UK-based employees, enhanced maternity and adoption pay and support when you return to work, and a contributory pension scheme with a generous employer contribution.
