Animation Director Jobs in Woonsocket, RI (NOW HIRING)

Position Overview
State Street's Alternatives Product organization including Private Credit, Private Equity, Real Assets, Hedge and TA / Wealth Distribution is seeking a highly motivated, AI-enabled content and marketing professional to support the growth, positioning, and commercialization of our global Alternatives business.
This role sits within the Alternatives Product team and serves as a strategic partner to Product Management, Sales, Client Coverage, and Marketing. The successful candidate will help bring our product strategy, capabilities, and differentiation to life through compelling content, visual storytelling, digital media, thought leadership, sales enablement materials, and client communications.
We are seeking an individual who combines exceptional writing and communication skills with creativity, business acumen, technical curiosity, and a strong understanding of alternative investments. The ideal candidate is AI-native, highly organized, intellectually curious, and capable of transforming complex investment servicing, technology, operational, and regulatory concepts into clear, impactful content for clients, prospects, and internal stakeholders.
This is not a traditional proposal-writing role. While RFP/RFI proposals and due diligence support will be part of the position, the primary focus is helping the Alternatives Product organization communicate, market, and commercialize its strategy, capabilities, and solutions.

• Maintain content repositories and reusable sales enablement materials.

AI-Enabled Content Creation

• Develop prompt frameworks and content workflows that improve productivity across the Product organization.

• Stay current on emerging AI technologies and identify opportunities to improve marketing and content development processes.

Visual Storytelling & Digital Content

• Design professional, executive-level presentations and visual communications.

• Develop infographics, process diagrams, workflows, charts, animations, and video content that simplify complex concepts.

• Produce content that effectively combines strong design principles with commercial messaging.

• Ensure consistency with State Street branding while introducing creative and innovative communication approaches.
