Job description

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.

This is an individual‑contributor role operating within established methodologies, controls and escalation processes.

• Produce accurate tables, charts and supporting schedules for portfolio reviews, Quarterly Business Reviews and governance materials.


• Review reporting for completeness, consistency and alignment with approved source information.


• Maintain supporting documentation to ensure reported outcomes are traceable and reviewable.


• Coordinate with Governance and Reporting colleagues to ensure validated information is reflected consistently across portfolio materials.

Data Quality, Controls & Tools

• Perform data‑quality checks, reconciliations and defined controls across assurance inputs and outputs.


• Maintain version control, review trails and supporting documentation for business cases, baselines, forecasts and validation records.


• Apply established Impact Assurance standards, templates and procedures consistently.


• Use Excel, PowerPoint, reporting platforms and approved automation or AI‑enabled tools to improve efficiency and accuracy.


• Escalate control exceptions, methodology questions and unresolved data issues through established channels.

Stakeholder Coordination & Team Support

• Coordinate information requests with Finance, business owners, Program Delivery teams and data owners.


• Prepare meeting materials and maintain actions and follow‑up records for assurance working sessions.


• Respond to questions regarding assigned analyses, evidence and reporting inputs.


• Support senior Impact Assurance team members with ad hoc analysis and priority portfolio requests.


• Contribute practical improvements to templates, trackers and analytical processes.

Experience, Skills & Leadership Capabilities

• Relevant experience or demonstrated capability in financial analysis, business analysis, portfolio reporting, transformation analytics, FP&A, accounting, consulting or a related analytical discipline.

• Organized and dependable working style with the ability to manage multiple deliverables and deadlines.

• Sound judgment regarding when to resolve routine issues and when to seek guidance or elevate.


• Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience required; degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, analytics, mathematics or a related discipline preferred.
