Location: Flexible (US / EMEA / APAC, aligned to State Street office locations)
Job Type: Full‑time
The Head of Legal Technology is a senior technology leader accountable for defining, delivering, and operating the end‑to‑end Legal Technology and Legal Security portfolio in close partnership with the Legal organization. This role is central to transforming Legal’s operating model, modernizing technology platforms, and embedding strong security, risk, and compliance capabilities across all Legal systems and processes.
The role balances strategic transformation (AI‑enabled capabilities, eDiscovery, platform modernization, legal workflow digitization) with disciplined execution, cyber resiliency, and regulatory readiness across the Legal application and security landscape.
State Street’s Legal and Security functions play a critical role in providing independent assurance over a complex, global, and highly regulated organization. As technology risk, data, and AI become increasingly central to that mission, legal effectiveness depends on strong, fit‑for‑purpose technology enablement.
In this role, you will help modernize how Legal is executed at scale—supporting consistent global delivery, deeper risk insight, and responsible innovation—while maintaining the rigor and discipline expected by senior management and regulators.
