Based in our Hong Kong office, you will be the go-to contact for internal business partners and external agencies as you build marketing programmes in support of our commercial priorities.

We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

• Acting as the regional eyes & ears for the global CIB Marketing team, keeping the broader team up to date on Asia-based initiatives that could be utilized widely in our global efforts
• Monitoring market trends, competitor activity and oversee advertising and marketing activities to ensure the approach is tailored and relevant

What we’re looking for:

• Progressive experience in relevant marketing roles
• Degree in Business, Communications or Marketing
• Understanding of B2B marketing, preferably with prior experience in the financial services sector
• Exceptional English oral and written communications skills, Mandarin language proficiency preferred

Skills that will help you in the role:

• Motivated self-starter who is comfortable finding a way forward on projects with limited oversight and/or incomplete information
• Ability to develop highly effective relationships with internal stakeholders and external agency partners across regions and time zones, including UK and US
• Significant results orientation with ability to convert strategy to action for flawless execution within budget, while remaining flexible and adaptable in approach
• Experience producing content for digital channels specifically, as well as channel specific knowledge (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, web, and the like)

Where will you be working?
