Enterprise Transformation (Value Assurance), Senior Analyst - AVP

Position Overview

As part of State Street's transformation journey, we are implementing a product and platform operating model to simplify how the firm operates, modernize platforms and processes, accelerate technology and AI adoption, strengthen resiliency and controls, and improve outcomes for clients, employees and shareholders. Transformation is business-led and enterprise-enabled, with the Transformation Management Office providing enterprise coordination, governance, methodology, execution support and value-realization oversight.

The Senior Analyst, Impact Assurance is a hands-on analytical role within the Transformation Management Office responsible for supporting consistent measurement, validation and reporting of transformation outcomes. Reporting to the Head of Impact Assurance, the role executes key components of the impact-assurance framework, including baseline analysis, business-case review, benefit tracking, outcome validation and preparation of decision-ready insights.

The Senior Analyst works across Finance, Business Units, Technology, Risk and Program Delivery to evaluate evidence, challenge assumptions and maintain transparent views of committed, forecast, realized and at-risk transformation value. The role provides evidence-based recommendations and escalates material inconsistencies, risks and data-quality issues through established governance channels.

This is an individual-contributor or coordinating role requiring strong analytical judgment, attention to detail and the ability to translate complex financial and operational data into clear conclusions. The Senior Analyst operates within established Impact Assurance standards and may coordinate work performed by analysts, initiative teams and data owners.

• Validate financial, client, operational, productivity, adoption and risk outcomes against approved baselines and targets.
• Reconcile reported outcomes with source systems, Finance records and supporting evidence.
• Identify value leakage, forecast deterioration, implementation gaps and delayed or unsupported benefits.

Stakeholder Coordination & Capability Support

• Partner with Transformation Directors, Program Leads, Finance, business owners and data owners to obtain information and resolve analytical questions.
• Communicate findings objectively, distinguishing validated evidence from assumptions or unsupported claims.

• Experience developing analytical models, management information, dashboards or executive materials using Excel, PowerPoint and relevant analytics or visualization tools.
• Ability to operate effectively across Business, Finance, Technology, Risk and transformation teams with appropriate independence and judgment.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline and commitment to data quality, transparency and control effectiveness.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain analytical findings and recommendations to senior and non-technical stakeholders.
• Objective and curious mindset with the confidence to constructively challenge assumptions and escalate material concerns.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt as portfolio requirements change.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience required; degree in finance, economics, accounting, business, analytics, mathematics or a related field preferred. Relevant finance, analytics, portfolio-management or transformation credentials are advantageous.
