Is building a career about moving up? Or moving on? At HSBC, we believe it can be either. Or both. Or whatever you want it to be. That’s why we invest so much in the personal and professional development of all our people, providing them with the opportunities, training, support and flexibility they need to get the most out of work and life.

Who we are

With over 10,000 offices in 83 countries, we are the world’s local bank. Our unique ability to combine extraordinary global reach with in-depth, hands-on local knowledge means we can provide people from different cultures and walks of life with the financial support that helps them live the life that best reflects who they are and what they want to achieve.

A world of opportunities

Given the breadth and depth of our business, we have literally thousands of different career opportunities ranging from roles within our branch and contact centre networks to specialist positions in commercial, corporate banking, marketing HR and IT. We currently employ well over 300,000 people worldwide.

Enabling you to succeed

We have created a working culture that enables people to achieve whatever they want to achieve. It’s not just about all the training, coaching, mentoring we offer or the numerous ways we help people to plan and develop their careers. It’s also about offering our employees flexible opportunities and helping them to strike a perfect balance between work and life.

Flexible working

We’re committed to increasing opportunities for our employees to work flexibly. Not only does it make it easier for people to enjoy working with us; it also brings lots of benefits to the business as we are better able to meet our customers’ needs.
