As our IT Project Manager, you will lead the initiation, design and delivery of technology and business change, taking accountability for successful outcomes and benefits realisation.
You will coordinate delivery across teams and partners, balancing scope, schedule, dependencies, budget and risk while shaping requirements into deliverable backlogs and promoting agile ways of working aligned to HSBC’s change framework. You will also provide strong governance, quality assurance, resourcing and supplier oversight, reporting progress and recommendations to steering committees to keep delivery on track.

Key Responsibilities
- Drive programme/project delivery end-to-end, balancing scope, schedule, dependencies, budget, risks and issues to achieve agreed outcomes and benefits.
- Partner with business stakeholders to break down complex requirements into Epics and User Stories, shaping delivery backlogs with minimal cross-product coordination.
- Own financial management for the initiative, including budget planning/forecasting, spend tracking, headcount management and (where applicable) software delivery capitalisation, ensuring clear financial reporting and tight cost control throughout delivery.
- Embed agile ways of working (Scrum/Kanban/Lean) in line with HSBC transformation and change frameworks, continuously improving delivery cadence and transparency.
- Define and manage resourcing, roles/responsibilities and delivery schedules; support and guide teams (and senior programme managers) across the full initiative lifecycle.
- Establish strong governance and controls—quality assurance, financial management (including headcount/capitalisation where applicable), and clear reporting to steering committees with actionable recommendations.
Qualifications
- End-to-end delivery leadership: Strong programme/project management capability across scoping, planning, governance, implementation and benefits management to deliver measurable outcomes aligned to strategic objectives.
- Controls, reporting and quality: Expertise in project controls (schedule development/control, monitoring, progress reporting), quality control and risk mitigation to keep delivery on track and to standard.
- Financial and performance management: Proven budget management, project accounting and KPI/goal-setting discipline, with experience tracking performance plans and delivery metrics.
- Resource and capacity management: Skilled in resource planning, allocation and utilisation, including leading teams through delegation/line management to meet delivery milestones.
- Stakeholder influence and partnership: Advanced stakeholder analysis/engagement and relationship management, with the ability to influence decisions and manage partner/supplier relationships in a complex environment.
