It is a $1BN+ technology business that has significant growth aspirations over the next five years. Being a part of BlackRock means being a part of a community of smart, results-oriented people who are pursuing some of the world’s most sophisticated financial challenges. And our founder-led culture has maintained its results-oriented feel — we work hard, we work as a team, and we work with purpose. Being a member of Aladdin Product means working with the best in the industry to build innovative products that shape financial markets.

Sitting at the intersection of business and technology, the Aladdin Product Management team works closely with developers, researchers, and other stakeholders to innovate, conceptualize, design and pilot new capabilities across the investment lifecycle. As a Product Manager, you will have a positive impact on developing the product vision and leading day to day execution of the roadmap. There are many strategic areas that need exploration, evaluation, and prioritization, while in parallel ensuring that the tactical needs for continuing to deliver the product are met.

About this role

As a trusted product expert, you will contribute to delivering key functionality to our asset servicer client base.

By connecting market trends and our client needs with product engineering teams, you will have the opportunity to help shape and execute the future capabilities and growth of our Core Operating Platform capabilities.

We are looking for a motivated product manager / owner to bring marketplace and asset servicer knowledge to our Private Markets Asset Servicer focused product team. This individual will help us improve our current positioning with Asset Servicers, while defining the right trajectory to accelerate growth in the complex Fund Accounting landscape.

Strong candidates will bring their hands on experience working in asset servicing for alternative investments. You will be aware / research the competitive landscape and influence our technical and commercial decisions. You will also lead new product initiatives, coordinate engagement with users, oversee product roadmaps, and ensure unparalleled execution to deliver winning products. Success in this product vertical will both improve eFront Private Market solutions and Aladdin’s overall value offering and facilitate new growth opportunities, ultimately contributing to bold Aladdin growth targets in the Private Markets space.

This role is also expected to contribute to Aladdin’s AI-enabled future—identifying where AI can improve user workflows (e.g., insight generation, explanation, scenario exploration, automation of repetitive analysis, natural-language interfaces), and where it must be applied thoughtfully with transparency, controls, and measurable value.

You are:

• Passionate about building technical solutions in partnership with engineering teams

• A self-starter who enjoys solving complex problems that deepen our understanding of end users

• Curious to learn new skills and willing to embrace work outside of your comfort zone

• AI-curious and AI-practical: you actively use AI tools to accelerate product discovery, writing, analysis, and experimentation—and you can separate “cool demos” from durable product value

• Comfortable challenging the status quo and using your entrepreneurial spirit to create new solutions

• A team player who is energized by working in a fast paced environment

We are:

• Passionate about building innovative solutions that meet the needs of our clients

• Comfortable challenging the status quo

• Curious about financial markets and the technology ecosystem

• Building AI-enabled product capabilities responsibly—prioritizing measurable outcomes, strong model/data governance, and a high bar for client trust

• Results oriented & metrics driven

• Committed to fostering a purpose driven culture and working horizontally to break down silos

Skills / Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in product management / business analysis / client service that includes building and launching technology in a B2B or B2C market

• Hands-on comfort using AI tools in daily product work (e.g., prompt-based research, summarization, synthesis, draft specifications, competitive scans, workflow mapping, data exploration support) with appropriate judgment and confidentiality

• Dedicated interest in understanding, detailing, and mastering related workflows

• Familiarity with AI product patterns and risks: understanding of model limitations (hallucinations, bias, drift), evaluation approaches, and product mechanisms to improve reliability (human-in-the-loop, citations/grounding, guardrails, feedback loops)

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely

• Bias for action and willingness to take risks

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Ability to make data driven decisions and deliver results quickly

• Preference for and demonstrated success in a team-oriented environment

• BA/BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Finance, or equivalent practical experience

Primary Responsibilities:

• · Partner with teams across Aladdin to drive forward strategic product decisions that accelerate the Aladdin offering

• · Define and document detailed product requirements and design product specifications

• · Attend and help manage key agile development rituals such as stand-ups, planning, demos, and retrospectives

• · Develop, prioritize, and maintain roadmaps, provide quarterly updates on deliverables and create content for management communications

• · Work with team leadership to maintain Aha! boards across the program (maintaining and managing the product backlog)

• · Keep abreast of the competitive landscape and new opportunities for partnership

• · Become a subject matter expert and provide technical/industry expertise to both sales and clients directly on how to leverage the Aladdin offering
