Global Hedge Product Management, Vice President

State Street is a leading global financial services provider supporting asset owners, asset managers, and official institutions with investment servicing, data and analytics, trading, financing, and technology solutions.

Global Alternatives is a core growth business within State Street, serving clients across hedge funds, private equity, private credit, real assets, and other alternative investment strategies. The division helps clients scale increasingly complex investment platforms by combining specialist fund administration and operations with State Street's broader capabilities across data, technology, markets, custody, treasury, and front-to-back solutions.

Global Hedge represents a significant part of the Global Alternatives franchise and is central to the division's growth strategy.

We are seeking a highly motivated and commercially minded Vice President of Global Hedge Product Management to join our team.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious product leader to make a visible impact within a small, highly focused global team. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who combines deep hedge fund and asset-servicing knowledge with the drive to identify opportunities, solve complex problems, mobilize stakeholders, and convert strategy into measurable business outcomes.

This is not a narrowly defined product-governance role. The Vice President will help shape the future of State Street's Global Hedge offering across front-office technology, middle-office services, fund administration, data, treasury, custody, and related capabilities. The individual will work closely with clients, Sales, Relationship Management, Operations, Technology, State Street Alpha, and other product teams to strengthen our competitive position and accelerate sustainable growth.

The role is suited to someone who is energized by ownership, comfortable operating independently, and motivated by the opportunity to influence a globally significant business.
