Principal Responsibilities

HSBC Wholesale Client Services

• The Wholesale Client Services (WCS) team in HSBC is responsible for the full life-cycle of a client\xe2\x80\x99s relationship with HSBC Singapore across the Global Banking and Commercial Banking lines of business. This requires close collaboration with Relationship Managers (RMs), direct interaction with clients, and coordination with other stakeholders within HSBC, thereby enabling RMs to focus on optimizing the potential value of client relationships
• The client life-cycle includes onboarding for new client entities and products (in-country and/or cross border with other HSBC sites), ongoing client servicing, credit servicing and maintenance, periodic CDD reviews, client/account exits, and providing central point of contact in helping our clients navigate HSBC to address their financial services needs
• To expand the scope and coverage of the support provided to Global Banking clients and RMs, we are now searching for proactive, collaborative and customer-centric individuals to join our growing team that supports Global Banking. While based in Singapore, this role is an opportunity to interact with customer and colleagues internationally and gain experience in a truly global business

Key Accountabilities

• Portfolio and RM alignment: WCS Analysts are aligned to a specific portfolio of Global Banking clients and their RMs, and responsible for understanding the needs of these clients by working closely with RMs, attending client meetings with RMs as necessary, and acting as the first point of contact for customers on queries or issues. This is a client-facing role where client-centricity is critical
• Credit: while there are separate dedicated teams who support detailed credit analysis and proposals, the WCS Analyst will co-ordinate the end-to-end credit process with clients and internal operations teams to ensure a high quality of service is delivered at all times, including facilitating Credit Applications, Credit Monitoring and Maintenance, and ad hoc General Servicing and Query Management
• Client Onboarding: the WCS Analyst coordinates the onboarding of new clients to HSBC, as well as enabling existing clients to avail new products. This is often time-sensitive and requires direct engagement with clients, as well as close collaboration with internal teams (RMs, product partners, and downstream operations teams) to ensure efficient and effective execution, resolve issues, and meet clients\xe2\x80\x99 requirements
• Financial Crime Risk Management: the WCS Analyst is critical to ensuring HSBC\xe2\x80\x99s adherence to regulatory requirements and internal policies. Clients must be assessed through on an ongoing basis (via the onboarding processes, periodic reviews, and assessment of system generated alerts) to ensure they remain in line with HSBC\xe2\x80\x99s reputational and financial crime risk appetite. WCS Analysts support the RM in these ongoing assessments in collaboration with other subject matter experts and operational teams within the organization
• RM support: the WCS Analyst supports the RM on other day-to-day activities, with a focus on query and issue management. This entails coordination with a wide set of internal and external stakeholders to add value to RMs and ultimately our clients

Requirements

• Excellent client servicing and problem solving, with a client-centric mindset and motivation to understand the needs of clients, proactively address challenges, and work under pressure
• Strong communication and inter-personal skills, with an ability to interact with a variety of internal and external stakeholders at various levels of seniority
• Commercial awareness, understanding the drivers behind onboarding and credit requirements and how these add value to HSBC and our clients. This results in the ability to work independently, manage time, organize and prioritize workload
• Risk management: familiarity with AML/KYC requirements, credit and financial analysis, and regulatory environments are highly beneficial
• The WCS Analyst role is intended for applicants with at least 2 years of work experience, which may not necessarily be in banking and finance. New graduates with related education but are new to the work force may also be considered if they can demonstrate some of the above skills. For candidates with more extensive work experience, we are also recruiting for WCS Associates who are expected to have direct industry experience to exemplify the above skills and also take a role as a leader and point of escalation / resolution within the broader team

To be considered for this role, the relevant rights to work in Singapore is required.
