Edinburgh, United Kingdom State Street Full time

Who we are looking for?

This role can be performed in a hybrid model, where you can balance work from home and office to suit your personal commitments and professional responsibilities.

Why this role is important to us

The team you will be joining is a part of State Street Global Delivery (SSGD). SSGD gives clients and managers access to the essential financial tools they need to deliver effective investment solutions. From core custody, accounting, fund administration and shareholder recordkeeping, to complete operations solutions and servicing for alternative assets like OTC derivatives, private equity and real estate.

The Client Change team you would be joining is a crucial part of SSGD; supporting our clients through their change agendas, delivering a professional rigour and standard of the highest order. Delivering quality client service is crucial to State Street, and our team plays a fundamental part in that.

What you will be responsible for

Key elements of this role are as follows:

- Have a bias for structure; constantly seeking to bring order to proceedings and create clear ways ahead for others to follow.
- Accept responsibility and not fear accountability; owning end-to-end delivery of client change, including schedule, quality and cost.
- Communicate effectively with clients, third parties and colleagues ensuring they are kept aware of any developments affecting them with impact and empathy.
- Lead or attend client change forums or regular calls associated with client change.
- Ensure that change projects/programs are tracked to completion with satisfactory results.
- Own client change logs (ensure consistency across projects and demonstrate appetite for quality and precision).
- Report progress regularly to the PMO and senior personnel, accepting accountability for accuracy and clarity.
- Support the wider team; contributing to the future shape of the team and proactively supporting colleagues in tough times.
- Lead cross-functional teams effectively within a matrix environment, and have the current capacity or future interest in acting as an effective line manager.
- Live and breathe expected standards of personal and professional conduct, ensuring adherence to company policies and procedures.

What we value

These skills will help you succeed in this role:

- Strong project management skills
- The ability to respond to changing priorities
- Ability to face-off with a client at various levels
- Willingness to accept responsibility and accountability (‘choosing to own it’)
- Comfort and confidence in working across organisational silos; navigating spaces and people with whom you’re unfamiliar
- A natural tendency to favour simplicity over complexity
- Strong critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making skills
- Excellent administrative and organizational skills
- Ability to multitask and work efficiently to meet client deliverables

Education & Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree
- Suitable industry-recognised Project Management qualification(s)
- 5+ years of industry relevant experience and likely a background in either custody or general ledger accounting or audit experience
- Previous project management or client change experience
- Advanced Excel skills (advanced formulas, pivot tables, VLOOKUP).

Additional requirements
- Exceptional interpersonal & communication skills

We truly believe in the power that comes from the diverse backgrounds and experiences our employees bring with them. Although each vacancy details what we are looking for, we don’t necessarily need you to fulfil all of them when applying. If you like change and innovation, seek to see the bigger picture, make data driven decisions and are a good team player, you could be a great fit.
