Human Resources
Our Human Resources function supports employees from recruitment to retirement across our markets. We pride ourselves on building and retaining a high-performing and diverse workforce, and we work hard to support our employees, their families and the communities in which we operate.
We have a progressive People Strategy where we’re investing not only in technology and innovation but also in our employees, their careers and personal development. Our goal is to create an environment where we can all bring the best of ourselves to work – one that recognises our uniqueness as individuals.
That’s why we’re changing the way we work, introducing more flexible arrangements and modern office spaces, and making sure that reward and recognition is given not just for what we do, but how we do it, guided by our valued behaviours.
As a member of the Human Resources team, you will work to partner, advise and support our employees and be part of this positive change across the organisation.
Legal
Our Legal, Group Corporate Secretariat and Shared Investigative Services functions work hard to protect the Bank, and ensure we run our business responsibly in line with our valued behaviour of doing the right thing.
We’re committed to be a leader in fighting financial crime, and work with local correspondent banks to safeguard their access to the financial system and help raise industry standards. We have also taken the lead on establishing new collaborative models to tackle financial crime, by breaking down the silos between financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement.

We’re digitising our banking services, making it easier than ever for our customers to bank.

Our innovation lab, the eXellerator, aims to enable and accelerate innovation by providing a safe space for different parts of the Bank, and external partners, to collaborate, explore and test solutions to solve real business problems of today, as well as the challenges of tomorrow.
The workforce within ITO is reshaping the way we do business. Be at the forefront of a drive to bring banking into the 21st century, offering more beneficial and innovative technologies for our clients, customers and colleagues.
Risk and Compliance
All employees of Standard Chartered are risk managers and take responsibility for the risks in our area of work. This is the Bank’s first line of defence. The second is our Risk and Compliance function.
We believe that a healthy risk culture is one where we identify current and future risks effectively, discuss them openly and take prompt actions.
Working with teams across the Bank, Risk and Compliance colleagues take a constructive approach to providing oversight and challenge, and make clear decisions in a timely manner. We’re nurturing a diverse and inclusive working environment where colleagues are accountable, open to challenge and feel safe using their judgment to make considered decisions. You can be part of our map to future success, breaking down silos and building out our diversity to drive better insights and decision making.
Group Chief Operating Office (COO)
Spanning all our business segments, functions and regions, as well our Business Resilience, Operational Excellence and Business Operational Risk Management teams, along with elements of Cyber Security, our Group COO team has a stake in everything that happens across the Bank. We provide control and governance to the operating platforms and processes to ensure operating excellence and efficiency. The Group COO also ensures that the Bank has the proper platforms, capacity and operational controls with good administrative procedures in place to effectively meet our strategic objectives.
We work hard to become simpler, faster and better in the way we serve our clients and as a place to work for our people. Every aspect of what we do is intended to improve the way we work, whether that is by continuously challenging ourselves to improve and innovate, by reengineering our processes to become more efficient and productive, or by bringing together different parts of the Bank to deliver a safe and seamless experience for our clients.
We’re making positive progress at a granular level, as well as having a broader impact with the changes we make. If you can challenge us to make processes even more simple and effective, while looking at new innovations to ensure we are at the cutting edge of business facilitation, this could be the right fit for you.
Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing
Our Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing function is responsible for engaging the Bank’s stakeholders internally and externally, as well as promoting and protecting our brand and reputation. This team was behind our latest advertising campaign – “Good enough will never change the world” which tells the world who we are and what we stand for, both in our business as a Bank, and in our community work.

Global Business Services
Global Business Services is at the heart of the professional services, core systems and processes at the bank including client care, finance services, risk, technology services, cyber security, cyber forensics, regulatory compliance and banking operations. Simply put, we couldn’t function without these talented teams where colleagues act as trusted advisors and manage complex, large scale, cross-border activities to ensure that our business runs as efficiently as possible.
Our service centres in India, Malaysia, China and, from September 2018, in Warsaw, Poland are redefining banking by using the latest technologies and practices in data analytics, robotics and software development. Our client-focused delivery culture has attracted top talent from around the world to come work with us. We offer a wealth of opportunities for a diverse workforce in our pursuit of building a lean, agile and digital bank with a human touch.
