HSBC is recruiting a full-time Working Capital Sales Director to lead business development in receivables and trade finance for leveraged and mid-market segments. This is a permanent, hybrid role within a tier-1 bank's Global Trade Solutions division—not fractional or interim. Strong fit for an executive seeking stable senior revenue leadership with institutional support.

01

Full-time Head of Sales — the balanced verdict

Why this role stands out

  • Tier-1 employer (HSBC) with proven stability and global reach
  • Clear seniority — director-level, customer-facing, strategic influence over relationship and product strategy
  • Defined remit — working capital, receivables finance, trade solutions—niche expertise valued
  • Competitive package — private healthcare, enhanced parental pay, pension scheme, professional development

Worth checking before you apply

  • Full-time, permanent only—not fractional; candidate must want committed employment
  • Large-org environment — decision-making may be slower; matrix reporting likely (Relationship Management, Structured Trade Solutions collaboration mentioned)
  • Hybrid/occasional travel — not fully remote; reading-based office
