Senior Data Analyst – Compliance Analytics, Assistant Vice President

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a Senior Data Analyst, AVP to join our Compliance Analytics team (situated within the Compliance Data Innovation and Technology organization), which primarily provides development and support in the areas of analytics, automation, tool and models, reporting, and technical training and user enablement to Compliance.

This position is perfect for an individual who has expertise in data analysis, especially in compliance or audit functions within financial services, and who possesses strong attention to detail and coordination capabilities, as well as thrives in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will bring strong hands-on analytics experience, including SQL and Python, and proficiency with a modern BI/visualization tool such as Tableau and Power BI. This individual will have a proven ability to define metrics, document requirements, and validate data quality and controls, and will be experienced partnering with stakeholders across a large organization to communicate complex concepts clearly and drive action. A curiosity-driven, ownership-oriented mindset and a continuous-improvement approach to automation and standardization are essential.

Work Arrangement:

This role follows a hybrid work model, with regular in‑office presence expected. While some flexibility for remote work is available, the role is designed to be primarily office‑based to support collaboration with management, compliance, technology, and business partners.

The position may be based out of either the Boston or Quincy State Street office locations.

Why this role is important to us

This role is critical to supporting key reporting, processes, and analytics tools within Compliance, as well as enabling our modernization strategy in AWS and Databricks. This role is integral to strengthening Compliance’s ability to proactively identify and manage risk through timely, trusted insights. By partnering with Compliance stakeholders to define analytical requirements, key risk indicators (KRIs), and success metrics, and by delivering scalable dashboards, recurring reporting, and self-service analytics products, the Senior Data Analyst enables more effective oversight and decision-making. The role also helps ensure data is accurate and auditable by sourcing, transforming, and validating information across systems with well-optimized code and clear data lineage, while applying strong data quality and governance practices. Through exploratory analysis to surface trends, anomalies, and potential control gaps, and by identifying opportunities to automate and standardize manual workflows, this position increases transparency, reduces operational effort, and drives action on the risks that matter most in this evolving and progressively complex business and regulatory landscape. 

What you will be responsible for

Strategic:

• Assist in leading development of AWS and Databricks environment for wider use within Compliance, including automation of cyclical key reporting, self-service analytics and real-time reporting, and AI compliance solutions

• Champion growth of Compliance’s analytical capabilities and act as an exemplar and subject matter expert to team members and the wider Compliance organization

• Design guardrails and implement strong project management principles to ensure proper governance adherence and controls as we scale

Tactical:

• Continuously assess and suggest improvements of existing analytics tools and initiatives   

• Utilize strong analytical skills to collect, organize, and associate data from various Compliance and business sources, platforms, and formats to inform priorities and decision-making

• Drive best practices for dashboard design, data preparation, and usage optimization

• Review, revise and maintain procedures relating to key reports and critical processes and controls, while ensuring alignment with requirements derived from policy, standard, and governance best practices

Operational:

• Support critical reporting, processes, and analytics tools within Compliance, including change management, triaging issues, QC, and implementing control/governance enhancements

• Partner with various subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop analytics, automation, and/or visualization solutions to improve compliance outcomes 

• Act as a trusted partner to Compliance, business, and technology stakeholders

• Assist in documentation of various key process to meet evolving governance requirements

What we value

We value integrity and sound judgment, particularly when handling sensitive compliance information with care and professionalism, as well as analytical rigor grounded in strong problem framing, attention to detail, and disciplined validation of results. Success in this role requires a collaborative, partnership mindset and clear communication across Compliance, IT, Innovation, and business teams, along with an ownership-oriented approach; taking initiative, following through, and improving processes rather than accepting the status quo. We also value strong governance and delivery discipline in regulated environments, including an appreciation for data standards, definitions, lineage, and quality controls, and comfort operating within established (and evolving) control frameworks. Experience building trusted analytics solutions in cloud-enabled ecosystems, particularly within AWS and Databricks environments, is highly valued, as is the ability to translate complex regulatory, technical, and operational topics into clear, executive-ready (and plain-language) communications that support transparency with internal stakeholders, auditors, and regulators.
