  3. Working with internal stakeholders such as the public policy group and the trading market structure team on market consultations/regulatory advocacy initiatives as well as representing BlackRock on trade association and other external regulatory-focused working groups;
  4. Special projects as required.
  5. 2 – 6 years of post-qualification experience as a lawyer with a law firm or in-house at a financial services company;
  6. Strong understanding of current regulatory framework affecting trading and investments;
  7. Commercial outlook, motivated, personable, and with attention to detail;
  8. Take ownership of problems/requirements and ensure they are resolved to meet objectives without taking shortcuts that could compromise quality.
