businesses (also referred to as "the First LOD") to ensure that they
effectively manage as "Risk Owners" the Regulatory and Financial Crime

Role Purpose:
The role holder will be part of a team of Financial Crime Analysis within the
MENAT Risk Assessment (RA), serving as a key point of accountability for
financial crime-related analysis, risk assessment and the correlation of risk
with the control environment; undertaking qualitative as well as quantitative
analyses associated with HSBC's exposure to financial crime risk and the read
across of different risk indicators. The role holder is expected to deliver
timely and accurate analysis on all source analytical output to a diverse set
of internal and external audiences; must be quick to publish, comfortable with
a variety of product types relevant to our audience. A key facet of the role
is the ability to relate financial crime risk assessment to the control
environment and to ensure that there is coherence between the different
strands of products produced by the Risk Assessment.
The role holder must be able to combine and develop specific financial crime
subject matter expertise, designing data driven analytical approaches to
profile financial crime risk, carrying out qualitative and quantitative
analyses to develop specific financial crime typologies, and conduct
quantitative research and horizon scanning analysis of thematic trends to
assess how they may affect the Bank from a financial crime risk perspective. A
degree of comfort with data analytical techniques, and the ability to write
succinctly and coherently for senior audiences are critical skills. The role
holder is expected to be curious, proactive and innovative in their approach
to research and analyse, using open and closed-source information in tandem
with the exploitation of HSBC's proprietary data and analytical tools to
produce analysis and assessments with high business impact.
Principal Accountabilities in this role:
* Pro-active, timely development of analytics and analysis to identify, understand and enable the mitigation of financial crime threats to the bank in support of Investigations, the 1st and/or 2nd lines of defence. This includes development of own analyst production plan.
* Identification and succinct articulation to the senior audiences, including potentially board level, of financial crime threat themes that have the potential to have a material impact on the financial results, reputation or long-term business model of the Group. This includes analysis related to networks, typologies, industries, client portfolios, the Bank's major commercial initiatives and other issues. A critical skill is the ability to identify and brief the strategic implications of our analysis for the Bank.
* Efficient prioritization of often competing stakeholder requirements and proactively-generated casework, producing well-drafted and peer reviewed analytics products tailored to individual customer needs, and require minimal management amendment.
* Development and application of financial crime subject matter expertise to enhance our understanding of threats to the Bank and to improve our business impact.
* Produce analytic output that genuinely furthers our understanding of illicit methodologies, profiles and behaviours and capture the output in the Bank's systems in order to drive control enhancement or adaption.
* Work closely with Risk Assessment Analytics colleagues to provide feedback on proprietary tools, data models and/or identify gaps in data.
* Demonstrate considerable curiosity, autonomy and entrepreneurial spirit to obtain the necessary knowledge and identify and realise opportunities.
* The role holder will have access to highly sensitive information and data and must exercise sound judgement in protecting the data, whilst adhering to all relevant rules and regulations.
* The role holder must be interested in, and knowledgeable about financial crime issues. Senior decision makers will base important business decisions on the research product, hence the need for subject matter expertise, delivered authoritatively both orally and in writing.
