About this role

Your team

BlackRock Alternative Investors (BAI) brings together capabilities across real estate, infrastructure, credit, private equity, and hedge funds through a shared operating approach. The platform offers broad alternatives expertise and opportunities to collaborate with teams across the firm as the business continues to develop its alternatives-investment capabilities.

The Alternatives Client Services (ACS) team supports BlackRock’s privately placed alternatives products, including hedge funds, funds of hedge funds, private credit, private equity, and real asset funds. The team supports investors throughout the fund lifecycle and is responsible for investor onboarding, report distribution, transfer-agency oversight, investor queries, internal and external reporting, and client-data management.

Your role and impact

As Vice President, you will help shape how ACS manages regulatory reporting, tax-reporting processes, client data, and digital investor onboarding.

This role offers the opportunity to lead cross-functional initiatives, address operational and regulatory challenges, and contribute to the continued development of the alternatives platform.

• Lead project management, integration testing, and implementation activities for digital investor-onboarding capabilities.
• Collaborate with external transfer agents and internal stakeholders to define efficient investor-onboarding and AML and KYC review workflows.
