We are seeking a Senior Security Testing Delivery Lead to help drive the execution, coordination, and operational management of State Street's regulatory security testing and assurance activities. This role is ideal for a strong technical program leader who can bring structure, discipline, and momentum to complex cybersecurity remediation and validation efforts. The analyst will work closely with testing teams, remediation owners, Lines of Defense, and program stakeholders to keep testing activities aligned, on track, and effectively governed across multiple concurrent workstreams.

• Manage stakeholder engagement related to test plans, testing feedback, and validation reports, including navigating complex or challenging partner groups
• Prioritize and load balance testing demand across team resources to support efficient execution and timely delivery
• Coordinate overlap between regulatory retesting efforts and Network Penetration Testing findings, including managing handoffs and ensuring appropriate follow-up when tangential findings are identified

These skills will help you succeed in this role:

• Strong project management and execution skills, with the ability to drive multiple complex workstreams simultaneously
• Ability to bring structure, discipline, and transparency to fast-moving cybersecurity and regulatory efforts
• Experience tracking delivery through tools such as Jira and Confluence, with strong attention to detail and follow-through on actions and dependencies
• Ability to identify risks, escalate issues appropriately, and proactively clear blockers to maintain momentum
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, including the ability to load balance work and optimize team capacity across competing demands
• Comfortable managing challenging stakeholders and influencing teams across organizational boundaries to achieve timely outcomes
• Familiarity with cybersecurity testing or regulatory-driven security programs is preferred
• Financial services or other regulated industry experience is preferred but not required

Education & Preferred Qualifications:

• At least 4 years of experience in technical program management, cybersecurity program delivery, security testing coordination, or related operational roles
• Demonstrated experience managing complex cross-functional initiatives involving technical teams, risk stakeholders, and program governance partners
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, and other workflow or program tracking tools
• Experience supporting cybersecurity, technology risk, audit, or remediation programs is preferred
