    Who are HSBC Innovation Banking?

We offer flexible banking solutions for start-ups, scale-ups, growth businesses, investors and those working towards IPO.

From the first-time founders to the funds that back them and everything in between. Here's to never standing still. We're proud to accelerate growth for tech and life science businesses, create meaningful connections and open a world of global opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors alike.

    About the team:

    •Global Vendor contract review, interpretation, and drafting, including negotiating NDAs as well as advising the business on intra group and outsourcing arrangements.


    •Implementing a target operating model between HSBC Innovation Bank Legal and Vendor Management teams and other HSBC Group stakeholders.


    •Working closely with HSBC Privacy teams to embed a target operating model for HINV Privacy and advising on compliance with regulation on an ongoing basis.


    •Working with change management team on a broad range of projects including enhancement to strategic growth projects.


    •Drafting and maintenance of Legal Policies and Procedures to implement and embed new processes for legal risk management.


    •Assistance with the management of external counsel relationships.

    Requirements

    Required skills and attributes:


    •Solicitor qualified in England and Wales or similar overseas jurisdiction holding a current practising certificate.


    •You will have experience in managing multiple projects and deliverables against deadlines and be able to engage with a broad range of stakeholders.


    •General project management skills, taking into account multiple stakeholders and working in a solutions-focused way.


    •Experience of working in a regulated environment with experience of managing vendor and procurement frameworks


    •Effective organisational and analytical skills; must have great attention to detail.


    •Effective interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills.


    •Must be a highly self-motivated individual who can work independently and be a team player


    •Must be able to prioritize, and often handle simultaneously, multiple tasks, while maintaining attention to deadlines.


    •Values-led approach to work, always leading with empathy, integrity and a desire to learn and improve
