Data Governance Enablement and Operations - Senior Associate

Business Unit: Finance Data & AI Office (DART) | Function: Finance Data Governance | Grade: Senior Associate | Reports to: VP – Data Governance Enablement and Operations

Why this role is important to us The Finance organization at State Street depends on accurate, well-documented data to support regulatory reporting, risk management, and financial decision-making. Metadata and lineage are what make that data defensible – they show where a number originated, who owns it, how it moved, and what controls sit around it. This role is where that documentation actually gets produced. The Senior Associate does the hands-on work of building and validating metadata and lineage artifacts in Collibra, assembling the evidence that supports our attestations, and testing and rolling out improvements to the governance toolset. It is a strong entry point for someone who wants to build deep, practical data governance expertise in a highly visible regulatory environment. Role Summary The Senior Associate supports Data Governance Enablement and Operations for the CFO organization in executing metadata management, data lineage documentation, and data governance tooling activities across Finance, Treasury, and Financial Risk. This is a delivery-focused role: the Senior Associate maintains the Finance data catalog and CDE inventory, captures and validates lineage, prepares attestation evidence packages, and supports testing and adoption of enhancements to Collibra and adjacent platforms. The role works closely with data stewards, repository and application teams, and Technology partners, and provides day-to-day support to Finance users of the governance toolset.
