Principal Responsibilities

Role Purpose

Treasury Risk is the risk of having insufficient capital, liquidity or funding resources to meet financial obligations and satisfy regulatory requirements, including the risk of adverse impact on earnings or capital due to structural foreign exchange exposures and changes in market interest rates, together with pension and insurance risk.

HSBC uses stress testing as a forward-looking risk management tool for the identification, assessment, management and reporting of risks and manages this process in accordance with its 3LOD model. HSBC carries out a Financial Resource Planning (FRP) process to ensure that the bank’s strategic plans are rigorous, realistic and allocates sufficient resources to deliver the bank’s strategy. This role holder provides effective risk oversight to HSBC Asia-Pacific’s Stress Testing and FRP process.

In this role, you will:

• Drive the efficiency, effectiveness and insightfulness of 2LoD review & challenge by providing regional input and support to the development of global forecasting and stress testing analytical and visualization tools
• Where there is a regional/local need, develop bespoke forecasting and stress testing analytical and visualization tools to enhance 2LoD review and challenge
• Understand the end-to-end process, data infrastructure and systems used by the 1LoD for financial forecasting to ensure analytical tools being developed are aligned to value streams, servicing both FLoD and SLoD
• Support test case design and User Acceptance Testing prior to tool go-live
• Liaise with other functions to identify where existing sensitivity and/or risk/sector/theme-specific stress tests are already being performed; collaborate with these functions to translate these financial impacts into capital sensitivity/projections
• Provide review and challenge support for financial forecasting and stress testing core processes that are within Treasury Risk Management’s remit – incl. the appropriateness of Strategic Management Actions (SMAs) taken to recover from stress
• Across the spectrum of different stress tests (e.g. internal vs. regulatory, sector/them-specific, severe but plausible, Recovery Planning, Reverse Stress Test, Resolution Stress Test and etc.), coordinate and collate the review and challenge conclusions from other Risk Stewards in order to assess whether Top and/or Emerging Risks for other risks in HSBC’s taxonomy have been appropriately reflected in the scenario(s) and to assess the reasonableness of the stressed capital projections for a given scenario
• Present review conclusions to Regional and Country Chief Risk Officers and Global and Regional Treasury Risk Stewards
• Utilize the conclusions from the suite of sensitivity analysis/stress tests to proactive manage HBAP’s Capital Risk
• Ensure that HSBC is meeting the minimum regulatory requirements as it pertains to financial risk management and stress testing

• The applicant must possess extensive and deep understandings on Capital Risk knowledge and experience working in HSBC or a comparably large bank or financial institution. Candidates that have fundamental knowledge of Structural FX Risk, Liquidity Risk and/or IRRBB and understand the interplay between the various Treasury disciplines will be preferred
• Extensive experience with data manipulation software languages (SQL, VBA and etc.) and analytical software languages (Python, R, SAS, MATLAB and etc.) and data visualization tools (Qlik sense, Tableau and etc.) will be looked upon favorably
• Have experience developing and productionizing automated analytical and visualization tools
• Fundamental knowledge of the key drivers of Credit Risk, Market Risk and Operational Risk RWAs under stress
• Fundamental knowledge of Recovery & Resolution Planning
• Firsthand experience working on enterprise wide and/or regulatory driven stress tests
• Candidates with experience in both centralised Treasury functions and finance units embedded within lines of business are desired
• Skilled in project management – in particular: senior stakeholder management, time management, multitasking and prioritization
• Relevant 2LoD and/or internal/external audit experience with the ability to provide effective review and challenge in a professional and constructive manner
• Excellent business writing, communication, presentation, interpersonal and influencing skills, including the capacity to articulate the case for risk management in the language of business – ability to articulate complex concepts in a simple, succinct and impactful way to senior management
• Strong interpersonal, negotiation skills and problem solving skills, with experience in a complex global environment and a fast-paced dynamic environment
• Tertiary degree in a relevant field, such as finance, economics, risk management, or a related quantitative discipline, is highly desirable
• Professional certifications (e.g. FRM, CFA, PRM) are advantageous
