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.

In this role you’ll:

• Elicit, analyse and document business requirements; translate strategy into actionable roadmaps and solution designs aligned to HSBC standards.
• Design and oversee front-to-back solutions spanning portfolio management, valuation, reporting and operational workflows across Alternatives.
• Define and govern data lineage, data flows and integration patterns across investment, operations and risk systems; drive data quality improvements.
• Evaluate, select and integrate market platforms (e.g., eFront, Allvue, Aladdin or equivalent) and partner with technology teams on scalable designs.
• Collaborate across business, operations, technology, risk and data teams globally (EMEA/APAC/Americas), embedding controls and ensuring consistent operating models.

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

• Extensive experience in Asset Management/Alternatives with strong knowledge of private markets such as Private Equity, Private Credit, Real Assets and Hedge Funds.
• Proven track record as a Senior Business Analyst and/or Solutions Architect delivering front-to-back change in investment management.
• Strong data analysis capability, including SQL and experience working with data lineage, integration and governance frameworks.
• Hands-on exposure to Alternatives platforms and ecosystems (e.g., Allvue, eFront, Arcesium, Anaplan, Citco Unity or similar).
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills—able to bridge business outcomes and technology delivery in a matrixed, global environment.
• Strategic, structured problem-solver with strong documentation skills and an eye for automation, simplification and scalable design.
