Role Overview

• Transition Management is a high trust product where clients provide a significant proportion of their assets to BlackRock. The Transition Manager is accountable directly to the client to maintain the highest standard of care, responsiveness, and deliver a high standard of service.
• Attention to detail, personal service, and technical knowledge are at the core of the skills required to be a successful member of the team. The Transition Manager is an excellent communicator (written and verbal), a problem solver that can react in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and present complex information and concepts in an easy-to-digest format to clients.
• The Transition Manager is one of three functions that co-own the end-to-end delivery of a client transition project. The Transition Manager is responsible for planning and project management of the transition, communication with internal and external stakeholders, and coordination of the operational requirements.
• The Transition Manager is accountable directly to the client for the delivery of the overall transition project maintaining the highest standard of care and responsiveness, enhancing the client experience.
• The ideal candidate would enjoy problem-solving and have the ability to interpret and articulate complex multi-dimensional scenarios. The diversity of transactions, breadth of asset classes, and access to a large pool of intellectual capital translates into a position where no two days are the same. Attention to detail and an appetite to learn are a must. The role will involve managing portfolio restructurings for institutional clients, working within a multi-asset class environment, and with a range of financial instruments.
• The successful candidate will need to communicate, network, and establish and maintain productive working relationships with individuals at all levels, both internally and externally. The team is at the centre of BlackRock’s investment processes with access to all asset classes. Team members collectively own their successes and failures and are part of an environment where there is a strong commitment to developing and growing careers with a focus on passion and excellence.
