If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential - whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.

 

 

HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with operations in 64 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people to fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.     

 

                                                             

As an HSBC employee in the UK, you will have access to tailored professional development opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package. This includes private healthcare for all UK-based employees, enhanced maternity and adoption pay and support when you return to work, and a contributory pension scheme with a generous employer contribution.

We are currently seeking an experienced individual to join this team in the role of Machine Learning Lead, MRM AI.

 

Model Risk Management (MRM) at HSBC is structured as a global function, headed up by the Chief Model Risk Officer (CMRO). MRM are the second line of defence (2LoD) for Model Risk and the CMRO is the global Model Risk Steward for the group and is also accountable for the global operation of the MRM function. MRM teams are based in each region, to ensure local subject matter expertise and to guide, review, and challenge. MRM activity is managed on a global basis as many models are used in multiple locations. This enables MRM to operate consistently and efficiently globally, and to take account of additional local regulatory requirements.

 

In this role, you will be responsible for, but not limited to:

 

  • Provide leadership, support, advice and technical expertise to members of other IMR teams working on AI validations.
  • Lead the development of technical standards and related guidance for AI risk assessments and validation tests.
  • Own all MRM standards and associated guidance linked to Machine Learning (including the full span of narrow/traditional AI from simple gradient boosting to deep neural networks, but excluding General Purpose AI).
  • Work with the Infrastructure Team to provide MRM requirements to Global Businesses and Functions requirements to support the efficient integration of MRM activities in AI use cases, platforms and tools.
  • Provide support, guidance and coaching to more junior members of the Independent Model Review teams.
  • Represent ERM to your key internal stakeholders.
  • Communicate across technical and business levels to ensure that stakeholders understand how their delivery is aligned with the Bank and ERMs goals.

 

To be successful in this role you should meet the following requirements:

 

  • A minimum of a Master’s degree (or PhD preferred) in a relevant field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Quantitative Finance or a related discipline would be beneficial
  • Relevant experience leading the building or validating AI products.
  • Deep understanding of AI models, algorithms and the associated mathematics.
  • Experience with Python, including the main libraries used for data science and AI (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
  • Knowledge of the risks associated with developing, deploying and using AI in large commercial organizations.
  • Knowledge of the regulatory landscape for AI and ability to access the impact of proposed changes in these regulatory rules to the bank.
  • Strong AI research, methodologies and techniques, particularly Deep Neural Networks, including Supervised and Unsupervised machine learning algorithms.
  • Expertise with data cleaning, feature engineering, and data normalization techniques.
  • Ability to present complex technical concepts and results to non-technical audiences in a persuasive and compelling manner
  • Research involving the development of complex models and the analysis of very large data sets would be highly beneficial

 

The base location for this role is London – Hybrid Working
