The US Model Portfolio Strategy & Commercialization, VP will be a senior commercial leader within Global Multi-Asset Solutions & Model Portfolios responsible for shaping and executing the commercial strategy for State Street Investment Management’s US model portfolio business. The role will determine how model portfolios and multi-asset solutions are brought to market, including which solutions, client segments, channels and platforms to prioritize; how capabilities are positioned against competitors; how the sales organization is equipped to engage clients; and how commercial opportunities translate into adoption and funded assets.
The successful candidate will bring experience in investment product commercialization, sales strategy and the US wealth market, along with exposure to ETF model portfolios and/or multi-asset solutions. This is not a portfolio management role. Rather, this individual will have the investment acumen to clearly articulate portfolio differentiation, investment applications and competitive positioning while partnering with the Investment Solutions Group on deeper portfolio construction and investment discussions.
As a senior commercial leader, this individual will lead a team of 3–5 professionals and work closely with Client Coverage Group (CCG), Investment Solutions Group (ISG), Home Office, Marketing, Compliance, Markets Intelligence and other partners to connect investment capabilities, client needs, and market intelligence with disciplined commercial execution.
Why This Role Matters
The continued growth of the model portfolio business requires more than strong investment capabilities. It requires clear commercial leadership around which solutions to prioritize, where to position them, how to communicate their value and how to convert market interest into adoption and funded assets. This role creates that ownership for the US model portfolio business.
By connecting investment capabilities with advisor needs, distribution strategy, competitive intelligence and disciplined commercial execution, the US Model Portfolio Sales Strategist will help ensure State Street Investment Management brings the right model to the right client with the right message, while building a repeatable commercialization approach that supports long-term growth.
Key Responsibilities

- Determine where and how State Street Investment Management should focus resources to maximize model adoption and asset growth.
- Translate client, advisor, platform, market and competitive intelligence into actionable commercial priorities and recommendations.
- Develop strategies to move opportunities from initial interest through adoption and funded assets, identifying barriers and directing actions needed to improve conversion.
- Establish clear measures of commercial success, including AUM growth, model adoption, platform penetration, launch effectiveness and committed-to-funded conversion.
Model Commercialization & Positioning
- Lead the commercialization of prioritized model portfolios, from market opportunity and platform positioning through launch, sales enablement, client adoption, and measurement of results.
- Own the commercial narrative and competitive positioning for model portfolios, translating complex investment concepts into clear and compelling client and advisor messages.
- Determine how individual models and solutions should be positioned across different client needs, advisor segments, channels, and market environments.
- Bring recurring client needs, advisor feedback and competitive insights back into model portfolio planning, positioning, and future solution development.
- Partner with ISG to connect investment expertise with commercially relevant client conversations, while serving as the commercial lead on positioning, market opportunity, and adoption strategy.
Distribution Strategy & Sales Enablement
- Partner closely with CCG and distribution leadership to identify the highest-priority advisor, home-office, platform, and client opportunities.
- Develop data-driven target strategies and next-best actions that help sellers understand which model to position, with which client, and with what message.
- Equip sales teams with the positioning, competitive insights, training and tools required to confidently bring model portfolio solutions to clients.
- Lead and participate in client and advisor discussions around model differentiation, competitive positioning and how solutions may complement an overall portfolio.
- Support platform placement and activation strategies, ensuring the organization is commercially prepared to drive adoption following approval or launch.
- Help evaluate and prioritize custom model opportunities and establish a consistent commercial approach for progressing those opportunities.
Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence
- Lead and develop a team of 3–5 professionals responsible for supporting execution of the US model portfolio commercial strategy, including market and client analysis, targeting, model pricing and sales materials.
- Establish clear priorities and accountability across the team, ensuring execution remains aligned to the highest-value commercial opportunities.
- Serve as a senior connector across Distribution, Investment Solutions, Product, Marketing, Compliance, Markets Intelligence, Data, and platform stakeholders.
- Influence priorities and mobilize cross-functional partners in a complex matrixed environment to move commercial initiatives from strategy through execution.
- Provide senior leadership with clear recommendations and insights on model portfolio growth opportunities, market dynamics, competitive positioning, and commercial performance.

- Net new assets and AUM growth across prioritized model portfolios.
- Advisor and client adoption of prioritized models.
- Platform placement, activation, and penetration.
- Committed-to-funded conversion across priority opportunities.
- Successful commercialization and adoption of new and existing model solutions.
- Effectiveness of model positioning, targeting, and competitive differentiation.
- Sales-team readiness, engagement, and effectiveness in positioning model portfolios.
- Development and performance of the model commercialization team.
- Quality of market, client and competitive insights used to inform commercial priorities.
Specific KPI targets will be established with CCG and ISG partners based on agreed commercial priorities and available data.

Search Model Jobs in MassachusettsModel Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
Which visa types realistically fit model roles in Massachusetts?
Most international models working in Massachusetts use the O-1B visa, which covers individuals with extraordinary achievement in the arts, including modeling. The H-2B visa applies to temporary or seasonal non-agricultural work and can fit short-term commercial shoots. F-1 students may work via OPT if modeling relates to their field of study. TN visa does not cover modeling under USMCA.
Which companies sponsor visas for models in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, visa sponsorship for models tends to come from larger commercial clients and media production companies rather than boutique agencies. Healthcare and biotech firms in the Greater Boston area hire models for training videos and marketing campaigns and have HR infrastructure to support sponsorship. Fashion brands and advertising agencies headquartered in Boston's Seaport district also periodically sponsor international talent for ongoing commercial contracts.
How to find model visa sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find model roles in Massachusetts where employers have verified visa sponsorship history. You can search by role and state to surface commercial and editorial modeling positions with companies that have sponsored international workers before. This is particularly useful for narrowing down Boston-area employers who have the legal infrastructure to support an O-1B or H-2B visa application.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most model sponsorship jobs?
Boston accounts for the majority of modeling sponsorship activity in Massachusetts, particularly in the Back Bay, Seaport, and Cambridge areas, where advertising agencies, healthcare marketing firms, and media production companies are concentrated. Worcester and Springfield see occasional commercial work tied to regional retail and healthcare clients, but Boston remains the primary market for models seeking employer-sponsored visa arrangements in the state.
Are there any Massachusetts-specific considerations for models seeking visa sponsorship?
Massachusetts has a strong concentration of biotech and medical device companies that regularly hire models for clinical training materials, product demonstrations, and marketing content, creating a niche demand that differs from traditional fashion markets. Boston's university ecosystem also generates demand for student-focused commercial campaigns. Models with experience in medical, healthcare, or corporate commercial work may find more sponsorship opportunities in this state than in traditional fashion hubs.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored model jobs in Massachusetts?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
