Job summary

State Street is seeking a Head of Enterprise Architecture to shape the target-state design of our technology estate. You will set standards, patterns and governance, ensuring platforms, apps and integrations are secure, scalable and retirement-ready.

This role demands hands-on leadership at scale, with the credibility to defend architecture decisions to senior CIOs and to partner with Data & AI, Cyber, and Developer Platforms.

• Experience defending standards to senior leaders.

• Partner with business-unit technology leaders to prevent domain-level decisions creating enterprise-wide integration debt; clearly delineate architecture accountability from engineering execution.
