We are seeking a Managing Director level Head of Technology Process Re-Engineering to establish and lead a GTS-focused capability for technology process mapping, process re-engineering, and operational transparency across State Street Global Technology Services. This role will report to the GTS Head of Process Improvement and Risk Remediation. This role will drive the development of standardized process views for key GTS technology processes, improve end-to-end process understanding, and identify opportunities to simplify, optimize, and strengthen control effectiveness within the GTS operating environment.
The ideal candidate is a senior technology transformation leader with deep experience in process mapping, operating model design, and process re-engineering within a large, complex, and regulated technology organization. This individual must be able to translate fragmented knowledge into clear, actionable process maps and improvement roadmaps that support GTS decision-making, risk reduction, and sustained operational improvement.
This is a GTS-facing leadership role expected to partner with GTS senior leaders, technology process owners, risk partners, platform teams, and global delivery organizations. The Head of Technology Process Mapping will be expected to define the standards, tooling approach, and governance model for GTS process mapping while also leading hands-on efforts to document, analyze, redesign, and embed improved ways of working.
What you will be responsible for
GTS Technology Process Mapping Strategy & Execution
- Define and lead the GTS technology process mapping approach, including standards, methodology, taxonomy, tooling approach, and adoption model for documenting critical technology processes across GTS functions.
- Build and maintain clear end-to-end views of priority GTS processes, connecting activities, roles, systems, handoffs, controls, pain points, and performance indicators to improve transparency and accountability.
- Build out and lead a small team of process mapping professionals across two global locations, ensuring consistent standards, delivery quality, and stakeholder engagement across the GTS process mapping portfolio.
Process Re-engineering, Optimization & Control Improvement
- Lead structured process analysis to identify duplication, fragmentation, manual workarounds, unclear ownership, control gaps, and opportunities to simplify or standardize execution.
- Partner with GTS process owners and transformation teams to design future-state processes, clarify roles and decision rights, and develop practical implementation roadmaps that improve efficiency, risk management, and operating discipline.
- Establish measurable outcomes for GTS process re-engineering efforts, including reduced complexity, improved cycle times, stronger control alignment, clearer accountability, and better management reporting.
Governance, Standards & Executive Reporting
- Create and maintain governance routines that ensure GTS technology process maps remain current, validated, owned, and aligned to GTS standards, control expectations, and management reporting needs.
- Develop executive-ready reporting that communicates GTS process coverage, mapping maturity, key risks, improvement opportunities, open decisions, and progress against technology process improvement priorities.
Stakeholder Leadership & Change Adoption
- Lead engagement with senior stakeholders across GTS technology, risk, operations, and delivery teams to drive alignment on current-state understanding, future-state design, prioritization of improvement opportunities, and adoption of redesigned processes.
- Build credibility with global teams by facilitating fact-based discussions, resolving ownership ambiguity, challenging legacy ways of working, and helping teams move from process documentation to measurable process improvement.
What we value
- Technology Process Leadership: Proven ability to define and scale process mapping, process architecture, and process re-engineering capabilities within a large, matrixed technology organization.
- Re-engineering Mindset: Demonstrated experience identifying process inefficiencies and translating analysis into practical redesign options, implementation plans, and measurable outcomes.
- Executive Stakeholder Influence: Ability to engage senior leaders, challenge constructively, build consensus, and drive decisions across organizational boundaries.
- Risk and Control Orientation: Strong understanding of how process design, ownership, controls, metrics, and evidence support operational resilience and a sound control environment.
- Structured Communication: Exceptional written, verbal, and facilitation skills, with the ability to convert complex processes into clear narratives, visual maps, decision materials, and executive-ready recommendations.
- Analytical Depth: Strong ability to evaluate process data, control evidence, performance indicators, organizational handoffs, and operating model constraints to identify root causes and improvement opportunities.
- Change Leadership: Ability to move GTS teams from documentation to adoption by embedding standards, reinforcing accountability, and sustaining improved ways of working across global technology teams.
Education & Preferred Qualifications
- 15+ years of experience leading technology process transformation, process re-engineering, business architecture, operational excellence, technology transformation, or risk-aligned remediation initiatives within large organizations.
- Experience operating at a senior leadership level, preferably within financial services, technology, operations, risk management, or another highly regulated environment.
- Demonstrated expertise with process mapping and re-engineering methods such as BPMN, SIPOC, value stream mapping, Lean, Six Sigma, business capability mapping, operating model design, or related disciplines.
- Experience building process standards, governance models, repositories, reusable templates, maturity assessments, and executive reporting for technology process improvement programs.
- Strong track record working with globally distributed technology teams and influencing senior stakeholders across GTS, risk, operations, and business-aligned technology functions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Director Of Technology
Map your credentials to specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates Director of Technology petitions against specialty occupation criteria. Pull the O*NET profile for your SOC code to document the theoretical and practical application of IT knowledge your role requires, this directly supports your employer's RFE response if challenged.
Filter employers by LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Search Director of Technology roles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active Labor Condition Applications for this title. That filing history confirms the employer knows the H-1B process and has already cleared the DOL wage certification step.
Target cap-exempt employers to avoid lottery risk
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and certain government entities are cap-exempt, meaning your H-1B petition goes straight to USCIS without entering the annual lottery. Director of Technology roles at these organizations are filed year-round with no selection uncertainty.
Verify prevailing wage tier before negotiating compensation
Run your job location and SOC code through the OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions. Director of Technology offers at Level III or IV wages signal the employer can file a defensible LCA, a Level I offer in a high-cost metro is a petition risk.
Confirm the employer's E-Verify enrollment before accepting
USCIS requires H-1B employers to be enrolled in E-Verify. Ask your offer contact to confirm enrollment status early, a Director of Technology role at an unenrolled employer cannot be sponsored, and switching employers mid-process resets the petition timeline.
Request premium processing when your start date is fixed
If your Director of Technology role has a hard start date tied to a product launch or budget cycle, ask your employer to file with USCIS premium processing. Standard adjudication runs several months; premium gets a decision within 15 business days.
H-1B Visa Director Of Technology: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Director of Technology role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, information systems, or engineering. USCIS looks at whether the role's duties are complex enough that a specific degree is a minimum requirement, not merely preferred. Titles alone don't qualify the role, the job description and educational requirement do.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring H-1B visas for this role?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified Labor Condition Application filing history for Director of Technology positions, so you can focus your search on companies already cleared through the DOL wage certification process. This cuts out employers who list sponsorship as possible but have never actually filed an H-1B petition for this title.
What happens to my H-1B status if I'm laid off from a Director of Technology role?
You have a 60-day grace period from your last day of employment to find a new sponsoring employer, transfer your H-1B, change status, or depart the U.S. During that window you can't work, but you remain in a period of authorized stay. Acting quickly matters, a new employer can file an H-1B transfer before the grace period ends.
Can my employer sponsor me for an H-1B if the Director of Technology role is fully remote?
Yes, but the employer must file a separate Labor Condition Application for each location where you'll work for more than 30 workdays in a year. For remote Director of Technology roles, that typically means an LCA covering your home address. USCIS and DOL treat each work location as a distinct wage obligation, so your employer needs to plan accordingly.
Does a master's degree in a non-IT field strengthen my H-1B petition for this title?
It depends on the field. A master's in business administration with a technology management concentration can support a specialty occupation argument for a Director of Technology petition, but USCIS scrutinizes the connection between the degree and the role's actual duties. A computer science or information systems degree creates the cleanest alignment and reduces the risk of a Request for Evidence.
