Job Description:
About BlackRock’s Financial Markets Advisory Business: BlackRock’s Financial Markets Advisory (FMA) group provides a wide range of services to governments, central banks, and financial institutions globally. FMA leverages the firm’s capital markets, data and risk analytics, technology, and financial modeling capabilities while maintaining stringent information barriers and other procedures to protect client sensitive information and manage potential conflicts of interest. FMA advises financial institutions, regulators and government entities on their most critical and complex financial issues – from bank stress-testing to unwinding a portfolio of assets to designing and executing bond purchase programs to support to the economy. We work with our clients’ senior management on balance sheet and capital markets exposures as well as a wide range of other strategic, regulatory, and operational challenges. Since our founding in 2008, we have completed over 500 assignments for more than 280 unique clients in over 30 countries. Our technology and analytical capabilities give us a unique ability to respond to client needs. We leverage BlackRock’s Aladdin® technology platform and the firm’s sophisticated capital markets, risk analytics, data management, and financial modeling capabilities to deliver results-oriented consulting and advisory services. Our professionals work out of all BlackRock regions (Americas, EMEA, APAC), allowing FMA to serve clients in different locations and respond to urgent needs as they arise. To deliver the most effective team for any client situation, we assign professionals based on their expertise and can deploy from multiple offices. FMA’s hedge advisory team manages and advises on derivatives programs on behalf of clients seeking to hedge capital markets exposure. As part of this offering, the team designs and implements a range of bespoke hedging solutions, primarily for insurance and reinsurance clients, creating the flexibility clients need to decouple investments from liabilities, pursue optimal investment strategies, and create higher yielding portfolios. While the candidate’s primary role will be supporting and growing FMA’s hedge advisory franchise, the candidate will also gain exposure to a wider range of FMA’s capital markets services, supporting offerings such as contingent management, liquidity advisory, transaction support, stress testing, etc. We seek a candidate with capital markets expertise to support FMA clients and their objectives.
