Be Part of HSBC's Talent Acquisition Transformation

Join HSBC at an exciting time of change. As our Change Communications Lead, you will play a vital role in transforming our global HR strategy. You will be part of a forward-thinking HR Strategy & Transformation team, helping to deliver innovative, high-impact change initiatives through the power of strategic communications.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a seasoned communications professional to work on a transformative HR programme that will drive future success at HSBC. You'll work alongside senior HR leaders and programme teams, shaping and delivering a global programme that spans cutting-edge technology, evolving operating models, and policy change.

At HSBC, we recognise that talent is our greatest competitive advantage, and our Talent Acquisition team is at the forefront of a multi-year global transformation. We are radically reshaping our approach — redefining who we seek, the skills we value, and how we engage with the world.

Candidates will experience a purpose-driven employer brand and a personalised hiring process. Our mission is to connect exceptional talent with our business, ensuring every hire drives impact and secures the critical skills that will shape HSBC's future.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the development and execution of communication and engagement strategies aligned with programme objectives.
• Collaborate with senior stakeholders to define clear programme narratives and tailor key messages for different audiences including external candidates.
• Create and deliver dynamic, multi-channel communication campaigns that engage stakeholders and drive positive change.
• Own the programme communications plan, ensuring targeted outcomes and alignment with overall programme goals.
• Establish and implement a framework to measure communication effectiveness, integrating feedback for continuous improvement.
• Coach and collaborate with HR and programme leaders, enabling them to bring the communication strategy to life.
• Work closely with the Change team, overseeing a Change & Communications consultant to ensure alignment and execution.

Requirements

What you will bring to the role:

• Extensive experience in internal communications, ideally in a global or matrixed environment.
• Proven expertise in delivering communication strategies for large-scale transformation programmes.
• Exceptional storytelling and copywriting skills, with a reputation for producing compelling and creative communications.
• Strong verbal and written communication abilities, with experience producing high-quality content across diverse formats.
• A deep understanding of change management principles and tools, and confidence in applying them.
• Excellent organisational skills, self-motivation, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Experience working with global stakeholders and understanding the nuances of different cultures and communication needs.

The location for this role is London.

This is more than just a communications role. It's an opportunity to shape how we communicate change on a global scale, influencing the future of HSBC's talent strategy. You'll be part of a forward-thinking, purpose-driven organisation that values innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

Join us and be part of a team that is not only evolving how we attract and retain talent but is also setting the stage for the future success of HSBC.
