Middle Office Data Lead, Managing Director

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking an experienced Data Integration Lead to lead an engagement, and corresponding execution, with one of State Street's largest clients. This individual will serve as a senior integration leader responsible for shaping the target-state integration model between STT and the client, translating complex business and technical requirements into a clear, scalable, and well-governed integration strategy.

* The ideal candidate will bring extensive experience leading large-scale integration programs in complex enterprise environments. This person must be equally comfortable engaging senior client stakeholders and internal teams across product, operations, architecture, technology, and delivery. The successful candidate will combine strong executive presence with deep technical and business fluency, including a strong grasp of data models, data schemas, integration architecture, workflow orchestration, and enterprise data strategy.

* This role requires a candidate who can lead thoughtful, structured discussions with a sophisticated client, define a pragmatic future-state roadmap with tangible milestones, and ensure that integration decisions support both client outcomes and State Street's broader strategic objectives. The individual must also be able to distinguish between generic data requirements and proprietary State Street intellectual property, and navigate the engagement in a manner that protects STT's strategic assets while advancing the client relationship.

Why This Role Is Important to Us

* This role is critical to State Street as we work with a strategic client to define a target-state integration model that enables a more connected, scalable, and forward-looking operating environment.

* The Client Integration Lead will play a central role in shaping how STT and the client interact across data, workflows, and integration services, ensuring that the model is commercially credible, technically sound, and aligned with long-term enterprise direction.

* Success in this role will require balancing current-state realities with future-state aspirations.

* The Client Integration Lead will help define an integration approach that accounts for both traditional enterprise data integration patterns and more modern integration capabilities, while also incorporating bi-directional workflow interactions where operational processes must move seamlessly across organizational boundaries.

* This is a high-visibility role with meaningful impact across client strategy, integration design, enterprise architecture, delivery planning, and commercial engagement.

* Shape integration designs that support bi-directional workflow capabilities between State Street and the client, ensuring that data movement and process interaction are aligned end to end

* Lead discussions on data models, data schemas, canonical structures, data ownership, and data strategy from both business and technical perspectives

* Assess client requirements against State Street's current capabilities, strategic direction, and architectural guardrails to ensure proposed solutions are practical, scalable, and aligned with enterprise priorities

* Establish a clear distinction between generic client data requirements and State Street intellectual property, ensuring that engagement, design, and documentation practices appropriately protect STT proprietary assets

* Partner closely with product, operations, architecture, security, legal, and technology teams to align internal stakeholders around the integration strategy and engagement approach

* Drive the development of interim, transitional, and target-state integration concepts that support client objectives while minimizing unnecessary complexity and long-term rework

* Create clear, concise materials that support executive discussions, integration governance, decision-making, and roadmap alignment
