About this role
The Digital Solutions team is responsible for the strategy and execution of many of the firm’s collaboration and content management technology solutions. The team is central to BlackRock’s Microsoft 365 enterprise enablement program, improving the employee digital experience as a result. We collaborate with various cross-functional technical teams around the world to deliver secure and scalable technology services.

The Role and the impact –

As a Product Specialist/Manager, you will shape the evolution of BlackRock’s collaboration ecosystem through datadriven prioritization, AIpowered modernization, strong vendor and systems oversight, and a relentless focus on user experience, governance, and operational resilience. You will contribute directly to the product lifecycle: discovery, requirements, backlog creation, roadmap definition, feature delivery, change enablement, and adoption measurement.
You will partner closely with engineering, information security, compliance, enterprise architecture, and vendor teams to ensure collaboration systems remain scalable, reliable, and compliant — while introducing nextgeneration AI capabilities and connectors that unlock efficiency and enterprise knowledge access.
