YPP Spotlight Job of the Week: HSBC Senior Manager Technology Governance & Frameworks at HSBC
If you’re ready to step into a role where your influence shapes not just systems—but organisational resilience, cybersecurity, and executive decision-making—this week’s opportunity is one to seriously consider.
We’re spotlighting a Senior Manager – Technology Governance & Frameworks role at HSBC—one of the world’s leading financial institutions, operating across more than 50 countries and territories.
This is more than a job. It’s a chance to lead, influence, and create impact at scale.
Why this role matters
Technology is no longer a support function—it’s the backbone of every organisation. And with that comes increasing responsibility around risk, governance, and resilience.
This role sits at the heart of that transformation.
As part of HSBC’s Technology Risk and Control team, you’ll be leading how risk frameworks are not just designed—but brought to life. Turning policy into practical execution. Translating complexity into clarity. And ensuring that governance isn’t a tick-box exercise, but a strategic enabler.
You’ll work with senior stakeholders, influence executive decision-making, and directly contribute to strengthening cybersecurity, operational resilience, and control effectiveness across the organisation.
What you’ll be doing
In this role, you will:
- Simplify and standardise Technology Risk & Control processes across GCIO to improve efficiency without reducing control rigour
- Enhance the Risk & Control Assessment (RCA) approach to generate insights that drive clear risk ownership and action
- Lead governance for Risk & Control Management Meetings and executive forums
- Provide oversight and constructive challenge on risk decisions to ensure alignment with policy and regulatory expectations
- Support engagement with internal and external audit functions
- Draft high-quality Board and regulatory materials that clearly communicate risk posture and mitigation strategies
What success looks like
To thrive in this role, you’ll bring:
- Hands-on experience in technology risk management, governance, and frameworks
- Strong knowledge of operational resilience, cybersecurity, and IT risk frameworks (such as NIST, COBIT, ITIL)
- The ability to translate complex risk landscapes into clear, executive-level insights
- Confidence in engaging senior stakeholders and influencing at board level
- Experience leading and developing teams
The opportunity behind the role
At HSBC, careers are built with intention. Whether you’re looking to accelerate your leadership journey or pivot into a role with broader strategic impact, you’ll be supported with:
- Tailored professional development opportunities
- A competitive salary and benefits package
- Private healthcare for UK employees
- Enhanced maternity and adoption support
- A generous contributory pension scheme
