US Wealth Advisory Business Strategy

BlackRock's US Wealth Advisory business ("USWA") manages over $700bn of assets on behalf of US retail investors across a diversified suite of investment strategies and vehicles.  As part of a broad strategic review and ongoing internal integration of legacy business units, USWA is working to execute on a range of major initiatives to position our business for market leadership.

 

The US Wealth Advisory COO team is responsible for driving overall business unit strategy and execution against our strategic objectives.  Our group, reporting to the Head of US Wealth Advisory, forms the "connective tissue" of BlackRock's US retail business, coordinating functional areas within the business and interactions with the broader BlackRock organization.

 

We are seeking a candidate to join our team in a business strategy role to support our efforts across our strategic growth plan.  The work, particularly over the coming year, is expected to entail a significant amount of project management with a focus on working closely with business leaders to execute our growth initiatives.  Projects may span product, distribution and marketing, among other functions.  We are seeking an individual who can also contribute to ongoing refinement of our business vision – including development of strategic documents – and conduct data-driven analysis of internal and industry data to provide insight into business performance and competitive trends.

 

The ideal candidate is a high-energy, self-motivated individual excited to work in a fluid, fast-paced environment that will be the future growth engine for the world's largest asset manager.  Given the highly execution-focused nature of the work, experience in project management or management consulting is preferred.  Top technical skills – in particular Powerpoint and Excel – are a must.

 

Primary responsibilities will include:
