Technology Risk & Remediation Project​/Program Manager, Vice President

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a Vice President level Project / Program Manager to lead the execution of complex initiatives within State Street Global Technology Services. This role focuses on coordinating delivery across multiple work streams, strengthening governance and execution discipline.

The ideal candidate is an experienced program manager who thrives in execution, stakeholder coordination, and proactive risk management.
