Who we are looking for

We are seeking an Assistant Vice President (AVP) to lead the implementation of Corporate Compliance program components within the Compliance Advisory team at State Street Investment Management (State Street IM) and to drive a range of regulatory and fund-support compliance activities. The ideal candidate is a hands‑on program manager and compliance subject‑matter expert who can coordinate global stakeholders, establish and track performance metrics, ensure timely execution of control activities, and elevate team capabilities through training and process excellence.

Why this role is important to us

The Compliance Advisory team plays a central role in safeguarding our clients, our funds, and our firm. This role will translate Corporate Compliance program requirements into day‑to‑day execution for State Street IM, enable risk‑aware decision‑making through high‑quality metrics and reporting, and strengthen regulatory readiness–including board reporting, due diligence over third parties, regulatory change management, and exam coordination. Success in this role directly supports the firm’s governance, regulatory posture, and operational resilience. The role will have a reporting line into the Senior Compliance Officer for State Street IM in relation to Corporate Compliance responsibilities.

• Establish and implement performance metrics (e.g., KPIs/KRIs) and reporting to the Senior Compliance Officer (SCO), including transparent narrative, escalations, and aging analysis.
• Serve as subject matter expert for Corporate Compliance standards and procedures across Corporate Compliance Centers of Excellence, ensuring requirements are well understood, documented, and embedded in Compliance Advisory team processes.
• Perform quality assurance and scoping reviews of Regulatory Event Forms (REFs), Regulatory Impact Analyses (RIAs), and Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) to ensure completeness, clear scope, and ready‑to‑execute control actions.
• Enhance issue‑management controls for identification, escalation, and remediation of at‑risk/off‑track items in Archer/Archer X, with transparent status and aging analysis to the SCO.
• Build and run onboarding plans and refresher training for key program topics, and provide coaching to colleagues on special initiatives such as LAN Access Review and GRCM data quality.
• Serve as the Senior Compliance Officer (SCO) Delegate for the Compliance Program Oversight Committee.
• Act as process manager across recurring and ad-hoc initiatives, driving consistency, documentation, on‑time delivery, and continuous improvement.
• Report to SCO on the above matters.

2) Regulatory & Fund Support

• Lead or act as lead preparer for quarterly Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Board reports of the ’40 Act Registered Funds (ETFs and Mutual Funds) and contribute to preparation of other fund board materials; elevate content quality, consistency, and accuracy; and evolve towards reviewer responsibilities.
• Lead periodic service provider due diligence meetings (pre-meeting questionnaires, analysis, agenda, and in-meeting Q&A), document outcomes, and ensure timely communication of material matters (e.g., regulatory inquiries/exams, material changes) to relevant CCOs and senior stakeholders.
• Review quarterly CCO Summaries of service providers and sub-advisers of the ’40 Act Registered Funds (including quarterly attestations, memos, news) and document the review.
• Coordinate evidence gathering, responses, and stakeholder management for regulatory examinations (e.g., SEC, Federal Reserve) and internal/external audits, ensuring clarity of roles, completeness, and timeliness.
• Analyze proposed, final, and amended regulatory rules to assess their relevance to and impact on State Street IM legal entities in the United States and related personnel in the First Line of Defense (FLOD), serving as the SEC Curator for related obligations.
• Provide analysis and guidance on select regulatory compliance issues under U.S. Federal Securities Laws, including those applicable to registered investment advisers and registered investment companies (e.g., mutual funds and ETFs).
• Track and report the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for the Compliance Advisory team, aligning program execution to quarterly outcomes and highlighting risks to delivery with clear mitigations.
• Complete ad hoc assignments (e.g., partner with compliance colleagues in North America, EMEA, and APAC on aligned deliverables).

3) Leadership, People & Capability Building

• Identify Corporate Compliance minimum competency expectations for Compliance Advisory team responsibilities, curate learning resources, and communicate expectations clearly.
• Build and run onboarding plans and refresher training for key Corporate Compliance program topics.
• Provide day‑to‑day direction to a junior officer/associate and/or matrix leadership across the Compliance Advisory team to develop managerial and leadership skills; champion a culture of risk excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What we value

• Program/Project Leadership: Proven ability to stand up and run multi‑workstream compliance programs end‑to‑end with minimal oversight.
• Regulatory Judgment: Strong capability to interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into operational controls and procedures.
• Risk & Controls Mindset: Fluency with risk assessment concepts (inherent risk, control effectiveness), issue management, and remediation validation.
• Communication & Influence: Clear, concise writing and executive‑ready storytelling; ability to influence without direct authority across global, cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Data‑Driven Execution: Professional comfort building and presenting KPI/KRI dashboards; proficiency in Excel/PowerPoint and Tableau/Power BI; familiarity with GRC platforms (e.g., Archer/Archer X) and regulatory change tools (e.g., CUBE) is a plus.
