Major Challenges (The challenges inherent in the role that require a continual test of the role holder’s abilities) |
|
Role Context (The environment and operating conditions of the role including the extent of guidance and authority) |
This role sits within Wholesale Credit and Lending which is the unit within Banking that works across Product, Regional, Country and Sector teams on all lending related activities to generate optimal returns and to manage and minimise risk.
Project Latitude is managed by Wholesale Credit and Lending Transformation in partnership with Group Risk Analytics (GRA) Transformation, where GRA undertakes the development of models.
Global Risk Analytics (GRA) is a part of HSBC’s Global Risk Function which provides solutions using analytics, tools, and models to identify, measure and manage key risks. GRA currently covers Wholesale Credit and Market Risk, Financial Crime Risk, Regulatory Compliance and Operational Risk. As GRA is focused on model development and ownership, its activities are considered First Line of Defence.
The transformation function is responsible for delivery of change projects across GRA globally, working at local, regional and group levels. The team is responsible for process and organizational change as well as managing systems and technology projects.
The Project Manager role is distinct from the Senior Project Manager role in the scale and importance of the projects they manage and resource pool responsibilities. The Project Manager role is distinct from the Associate Project Manager role in their level of experience and independence as a project manager.
Project Managers are required to take decisions and lead change initiatives and on occasions manage stakeholder and senior management relationships. Project governance must be established, including clear sponsorship, tollgates and steering committee. The jobholder will not be subject to close supervision, and will be expected to exercise independent initiative and judgement in proactively overcoming obstacles to success, dealing with uncertainty and changing circumstances, such as interdependencies, opportunities or risks. He/she will be expected to adopt an agile and flexible approach to work and an outstanding level of professionalism and conduct.
The role holder will operate within the usual authority limits for a Project Manager
|
Management of Risk (Operational Risk / FIM requirements) |
The jobholder will also continually reassess the operational risks and likelihood of operational risk occurring. This will be achieved by reviewing risks associated with the role and inherent in the business, taking account of changing global economic or market conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, operating procedures and practices, management restructurings, and the impact of new processes. Group Programmes and regional/local programmes/projects must be managed in accordance with the Group Controls Framework and with relevant FIMs. Solutions must comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements - albeit that inherent in the role is the requirement to challenge our interpretation of these requirements to ensure that we take a commercial approach to their implementation. |
Observation of Internal Controls (Compliance Policy / FIM requirements) |
The jobholder will adopt the Group Compliance Policy by escalating any identified compliance risk in liaison with, Global Compliance Officer, Area Compliance Officer or Local Compliance Officer. The term ‘compliance’ embraces all relevant financial services laws, rules and codes with which the business has to comply. Project managers adhere to the Groups standard tools and methodologies:
