The HBCE (HSBC Continental Europe) Business Risk and Resilience (BRR) function operates as a first line of defence team, responsible for developing strategy, frameworks, and standards to manage business risk. The team provides risk oversight, defines scope, and conducts quality assurance reviews in line with established frameworks, aligned to the Group's Risk Management Framework.

The HBCE Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) supports the HBCE COO organisation to ensure third party risk is managed consistently and effectively across the HBCE perimeter (all branches and subsidiaries in scope) in line with Group Standard & European regulation.

What you will do:

As a Risk Manager (m/f/d), you will support the implementation, operationalization and continuous enhancement of HBCE's third party risk management approach, promoting adherence to Group-aligned frameworks, local regulation and strengthening governance, oversight, and quality. The role has a strong focus on oversight/QA and adherence testing, and on supporting regulatory engagement and audit responses, partnering closely with the business and global stakeholders to drive meaningful, risk-based outcomes (not just "paper compliance").

In this role you will

• Support the design, maintenance, and enhancement of HBCE third party risk management standards, methodologies, and oversight approach, aligned to Group frameworks
• Partner with relevant stakeholders to ensure regulatory expectations are reflected in HBCE processes, including EBA Guidelines and DORA
• Facilitate HBCE Third Party Risk governance, including preparing materials, Management Information, and action tracking for the HBCE Third Party Oversight Committee, and escalating key issues for remediation where required.
• Monitor third party risk management activities across HBCE to ensure operation within risk appetite/tolerance, identifying themes, control gaps, and systemic issues
• Deliver independent Oversight and Quality Assurance, including supporting and executing adherence reviews and testing plans to validate compliance with third party risk management frameworks and evidence standards
• Support regulatory and audit engagement, including coordination of responses and evidence for reviews/inspections (including preparation activity for ECB onsite inspection), and tracking remediation to closure.
• Collaborate with Business, Functions and entity stakeholders to embed third party risk requirements into business-as-usual processes and support continuous improvement initiatives

You should apply if you have

• Demonstrated experience in third party risk management, operational risk, or related disciplines within the financial service sector
• Good understanding of regulatory requirements and risk management frameworks, including awareness of EBA Guidelines and DORA expectations as applicable to third party risk
• Experience supporting governance, oversight reporting, and audit/regulatory responses (evidence management, issue tracking, remediation follow-up)
• Continuous improvement mindset with a practical focus on strengthening real risk outcomes
• Very good communication skills, especially in English, to explain complex regulatory topics to the business lines

Even if you feel you do not meet 100% of our qualifications, we encourage you to apply, if you believe this role is right for you.
