Who we are:

BlackRock Manager Research (“BMR”) is a global team responsible for sourcing and selecting investment managers across public and private asset classes for use in client portfolios. BMR generates alpha through disciplined manager research, selection and monitoring, with dedicated investment professionals across three specialized pillars: Investment Due Diligence (“IDD”), Operational Due Diligence (“ODD”), and Quantitative Due Diligence (“QDD”), where we analyze data, trends, and strategies to ensure our clients’ investments outperform peers and meet or exceed objectives.

With over $1 trillion in assets under management, MASS is where innovation meets execution in delivering results for BlackRock clients globally.

Your Role:

As a Quantitative Due Diligence Analyst, you’ll contribute to the evaluation, monitoring, and portfolio construction of investment managers across a range of markets and strategies. Your focus will be on using a range of portfolio and performance data to assess attribution, sources of risk, to help craft our view of what funds are positioned to be best in class within their domain.

What You'll Do:

• Maintain and improve processes related to the ingestion of data and utilization of tools in manager and portfolio assessment.

• Assist in applying quantitative techniques to evaluate investment managers across a wide spectrum of asset classes.

• Translate data-driven insights into actionable investment recommendations, working closely with colleagues in BMR as well as broader MASS to integrate quantitative findings into manager selection and portfolio construction.

• Take initiative in refining analytical approaches and proposing improvements to existing processes.

• Help communicate market insights to internal partners and senior leadership, ultimately informing investment decisions.

• Participate in developing research frameworks that support manager evaluation at scale.

What You Offer:

Fresh Perspectives: 1–2 years of experience is excellent but not crucial - we're more interested in your curiosity and passion for investments! Bonus if you have exposure to economic concepts, coding capabilities (Python), Statistics, or data handling (Excel).

Academic Excellence: Whether you studied Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or Engineering, or something else, we want to see outstanding credentials.

Energy and Drive: you are a proactive self-starter with intellectual curiosity, eager to explore new challenges and drive continuous improvement.

• Excellent analytical and organizational skills with a high degree of attention to detail.

• Strong sense of emotional ownership towards clients and team members by maintaining high levels of responsiveness and accountability

Confidence and Communication: you're articulate and ready to present your ideas to everyone from teammates to senior leadership.
