Wealth Transaction Monitoring Lead Analyst, Vice President

Who We Are Looking For

This role is the Wealth Transaction Monitoring Lead responsible for the continued design and deployment of suspicious activity monitoring models within State Street’s Financial Crimes Compliance (FCC) function. The responsibilities focus on the development, testing, implementation, and operation of suspicious activity monitoring models and investigative tools designed to mitigate the financial crime risks specific to the Wealth and broker‑dealer business. A minimum of 4 years of experience in suspicious activity monitoring within a broker‑dealer or Wealth business environment, including responsibilities in data analysis and/or data modeling, is key to success in this role.

Strong hands‑on data analytical skills, combined with demonstrated analytical expertise in AML and transaction monitoring, are required. You will help engineer state‑of‑the‑art models, methods, and features required to support Wealth and broker‑dealer products and integrate them effectively with other AML functions. You will document, monitor, and report model performance to key stakeholders. You will also leverage leading technology to develop proofs of concept and evaluate software efficacy based on industry experience across broker‑dealer operations, AML, model development, and bank risk technology.

You will play a significant role in partnering with Wealth business stakeholders, data stewards, FCC, IT teams and regulators to understand and explain customer and transaction journeys, identify relevant financial crime risks, and align business priorities with the design and operation of effective transaction monitoring controls. This role can be performed in a hybrid model, where you can balance work from home and office to match your needs and role requirements.

Our standard hybrid model is 4 days on site and 1 day remote. Preferred location is Boston or Quincy, MA. We will also consider applicants from Stamford, CT;
Princeton and Clifton, NJ; and Berwyn, PA.

The team you will be joining plays an important role in the overall success of the organization. Across the globe, investors rely on us to help them manage risk, respond to challenges, and drive performance and profitability. To make that happen, we need team members who can navigate the organization and coordinate the actions of global stakeholders. In this role, you will pursue solutions that are effective, straightforward, and scalable.

You will help us build resilience and execute day‑to‑day deliverables at our best. Join us if making your mark in the financial services industry from day one is a challenge you are ready to take on.
