- Lead technical client workshops to document current-state processes and define target-state automation across Accounts Payable, Receivables, Treasury, and Payroll, as well as bank statements and technical reconciliation
- Design connectivity solutions across APIs, SWIFT connectivity (connected banking patterns, security considerations, technical trade-offs), and H2H/file-based connectivity (format management, transmission patterns, operational controls) and HSBCnet channel alignment as required
- Translate client requirements into clear technical deliverables (data mapping, message specifications, control points, exception handling)
- Document agreed solutions clearly, including statements of work, technical scope, assumptions, dependencies, and controls
- Lead practical implementation of ISO 20022 for payments and reporting message formats, including mapping, validation, and exception handling
- Ensure solution designs account for industry evolution, including SWIFT MT to MX migration impacts and de-risking plans for corporate clients
- Support testing of payment and receivables files in industry-accepted formats, coordinating across global stakeholders where required
- Lead end-to-end delivery: planning, execution and cutover, with a strong emphasis on technical risk control
- Partner closely with Project Management disciplines, while personally driving technical workstream governance, checkpoints, testing strategy, cutover planning along with critical care for customers post go live
- Identify technical blockers (format issues, mapping gaps, environment constraints) and drive resolution to protect timelines and outcomes
- Monitor post-launch connectivity performance and stability; identify optimization opportunities and implement continuous improvements
- Provide pre-mandate technical support for RFI/RFP responses and solution proposals; act as a consultative partner to Coverage/Sales
- Serve as liaison across Client Service, Sales/Coverage, Product and IT, aligning global/regional/country stakeholders on a single delivery path
- Act as a trusted advisor to client technology and treasury stakeholders—confidently leading workshops and senior stakeholder discussions
Requirements
- Deep experience in client-facing solutioning and technical delivery: solution architecture, implementation, or technical consulting within banking/payments/treasury/fintech
- Hands-on delivery of connectivity implementations using H2H/file-based and/or API-based technical; able to clearly explain trade-offs and fit-for-purpose recommendations
- Proven ability to manage multiple complex workstreams and act as an escalation point, with strong stakeholder influence across business and technology teams
- Excellent communication skills—able to translate between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders without losing accuracy
- Experience supporting global or multi-country client rollouts; comfort operating in multicultural teams and time zones
- Working knowledge of treasury operating models, centralization/standardization initiatives, and change management practices
- Comfortable with structured delivery and transparency via tools such as JIRA, MS Project, Confluence (or equivalents)
