Global Partners Office, Vice President

About this role

The Global Partners Office (GPO) is a newly formed client business group responsible for helping the BlackRock organization deliver differentiated capital and strategic advice to the world’s most sophisticated clients as they look to engage more expansively and creatively with fewer providers. 

GPO partners cross-functionally to drive client strategy, coordination, and execution of cross-functional partnerships globally for a select set of our largest client relationships. GPO complements BlackRock’s existing coverage model to strengthen and institutionalize the firm’s C-suite connectivity and drive large commercial opportunities at the highest levels of client organizations. 

Role Description  

As an integral member of GPO, you will play a central role in deepening BlackRock’s firmwide partnership with our most complex and strategically significant clients, including global banks and the world’s leading asset owners such as sovereign wealth funds, pensions, and insurers. In this capacity, you will gain direct visibility into the most important strategic, capital, and investment objectives shaping these institutions and help address their most pressing challenges through thoughtful, cross-functional problem solving.  

The role provides exceptional exposure to senior BlackRock executives, investment teams, and the firm’s highest-priority products and capabilities, including many of our most innovative and future-oriented client offerings. You will develop an intricate understanding of the BlackRock ecosystem, working across businesses, regions, and functions to design and execute enterprise solutions that align with the long-term ambitions of our largest clients. You will join a collaborative, inquisitive, and high-performing team, and be positioned for significant growth as you help shape some of the firm’s most impactful client partnerships and commercial outcomes. 

Responsibilities:

• Work on a small, globally-oriented team with extensive day-to-day contact with senior business leaders and stakeholders across BlackRock.  

• Partner with Executive Sponsors to identify commercial opportunities and assign resources in the firm towards those opportunities.  

• Partner with our external counterparts to drive forward commercial priorities. 

• Organize executive-level partnership summits for assigned clients alongside our client coverage teams.  

• Maintain relationships with key internal stakeholders (e.g., relationship managers and channel leads) who interact with strategic clients.  

• Convene and lead impactful account planning sessions in order to share client knowledge and connect the enterprise around revenue growth opportunities.  

• Guide engagement strategies for BlackRock Global Executive Committee (GEC) members with their counterpart executives at GPO client organizations, own the briefing process for these engagements, and provide input on the agenda and talking points.  

• Help drive strategic C-Suite events and firm-wide initiatives (sometimes on a global scale). 

• Mentor and support the growth of junior team members, with a clear path to leadership and the opportunity to step into a people management role.

• Assist with broader business management activities and strategic projects.
