- New account coding - interpreting the client’s investment guidelines from the completed Investment Management Agreement (IMA) and implementing the required controls through coding of compliance rules in BlackRock’s Aladdin platform.

- Participating in efficiency and improvement initiatives by providing ideas and suggestions on possible improvements to systems or processes
- Leading or running strategic projects and initiatives

Experience of working in the investment management industry and knowledge of investment products is desired, along with a background in finance or similar fields.

Strong technical knowledge will be a significant advantage. Specifically, knowledge of programming languages (such as Visual Basic, C++, or Java) and an understanding of relational database concepts (including SQL).

Other key technology skills we look for include:

- Aladdin suite experience
- Coding experience within Compliance Monitoring tools (Aladdin, Sentinel, Charles River, thinkFolio, or In-House systems) (preferable)
- Strong Microsoft Office knowledge

We are a global firm, and we need someone who is confident in working as part of a team that spans many functions, geographies and partners with a pragmatic approach and good judgement.

The role demands strong time management, being able to priorities and keeping calm under pressure in what can be a challenging environment.

- Proven interpersonal skills
- Strong multi-tasking skills and attention to detail
- Dedicated approach to issue resolution
- Ability to handle complexity and not being afraid to ask difficult questions
