Data Analytics and Automation Analyst

*****Please send CVs in English******

Team Overview:

The Data Analytics & Automation (DAA) team aims to create and implement data analytics and automation solutions that improve operational efficiency & Risk Management and drive commercial success. The team uses its coding skills and business knowledge along with its colleagues to reduce manual work, streamline processes, mitigate risks, and improve the client experience. The team also supports commercial and strategy teams by providing solutions that make insights accessible, enable effective data-driven decisions, and support the sales process. The team is not just a servicing back-end team, but a coding-driven business team that delivers value at a fast pace. The team's Artificial Intelligence (AI) workstream and solutions have recently gained global attention and will continue to propose down-to-earth AI solutions that bring real value to the firm.

The team mostly works with sales, marketing, product, operations, and investment teams in America but also collaborates with colleagues in Europe and Asia. The team belongs to Global Accounting and Product Services (GAAPS), one of the critical functions within the Technology & Operations group at BlackRock responsible for supporting BlackRock's worldwide operations across all asset classes and geographies. Although the team codes, develops models, and creates tools, it is not a traditional Aladdin Engineering team.

Role and impact:

The ideal candidate is an individual who is self-driven and curious, with a coding background or education in the finance industry and relevant programming skills. The role requires being driven and autonomous to be able to finish projects without frequent guidance and support. This role requires the ideal candidate to have the ability to comprehend the problem, suggest an appropriate solution, create a project plan, and implement it within the given deadline. As part of the DAA team, you will work with business and technology partners to develop and deliver data analytics and automation solutions. The individual must be able to communicate well with colleagues who come from diverse backgrounds, experience, and culture. The role will involve writing clean, scalable, and sophisticated code in languages (such as Python, SQL, and VBA) and producing insightful business intelligence (such as reports and Tableau or Power BI dashboards). The candidate should have a knowledge of AI/ML concepts and preferably professional experience.

This role requires a business-driven mindset and creativity in finding ways to support the sales process, optimize operations, and mitigate risks. The candidate should be able to handle a steep learning curve and a dynamic environment. The ideal candidate is resilient, flexible, and persistent. This role will offer significant exposure to BlackRock's global senior leaders. The role is for problem-solvers and individuals that do not shy away from seeking help outside their immediate network. In this role, you will frequently face new and challenging situations. This position requires the individual to be a resourceful problem-solver that leverages available technology to deliver results fast.
