About this role
Business Unit Overview:
The Cash Management Group manages a suite of products that includes Prime and Government Money Market and Ultra-Short Duration Mutual funds and Separate Accounts. BlackRock’s cash management style is designed to meet each client’s objectives of capital preservation, liquidity and yield – in that order. This philosophy is built on a risk-controlled framework, featuring careful analysis of credit, interest rate trends, and relative value opportunities which ultimately produce investment returns on a risk adjusted basis. Our disciplined approach to investing originated in 1973 when we pioneered the first constant-dollar money market fund dedicated to institutional investors.
The Cachematrix Technical Product Strategy team is part of the Global Cash Management team. The team works directly with the Cachematrix Liquidity Management platform, which is a single instance, multi-tenant software as a service (SaaS) based product. It powers custom trading solutions for many of the world’s leading and most innovative financial institutions, including regional and global banks and asset management firms. The platform can be integrated into any core cash management system as a seamless, single sign-on module or operate as a stand-alone system.
