About The Position

State Street Alpha is seeking a Vice President Product Manager to lead strategy and delivery for next-generation Enterprise Data Management (EDM) platform services. The role shapes cloud-native, independently deployable data services that help large investment firms master, govern, and distribute data at scale. The Product Manager owns the vision, roadmap, and delivery of foundational capabilities including entity and identifier resolution, reference data management, extensible data models, and resilient release management. This is a hands-on, technical leadership role working closely with engineering, architecture, and client teams to translate complex platform challenges into clear requirements, sequenced roadmaps, and measurable client value. The role is important to evolving State Street Alpha’s market-leading SaaS Data Platform into more modular, scalable, and flexible-to-deploy services, simplifying adoption and operations for clients while enabling faster, safer releases. The Product Manager leads product strategy, requirements, design reviews, cross-functional alignment, success measurement, and client and market engagement. The role also mentors product managers and business analysts and reports progress, risks, and outcomes to senior leadership. Travel may be required for client engagements, including internationally.

Hands-on experience with security master, entity resolution, identifier cross-referencing, and data lineage.
