The coding may need to be updated in Aladdin to reflect the updated requirements for clients. We also maintain restrictions on behalf of Legal & Compliance
• Crafting new system rules, improving existing compliance coding, and investigating or trouble shooting potential errors when needed
• Coordinating the implementation of Manual tests, where a rule cannot be implemented in Aladdin.

• Becoming acquainted with BlackRock's various Aladdin applications, trade flow process, and data environment
• Participating in efficiency and improvement initiatives by providing ideas and suggestions on possible improvements to systems or processes
• Leading or running strategic projects and initiatives

To be successful, candidates will need to demonstrate the following skills:

• Experience of working in the investment management industry and knowledge of investment products is desired, along with a background in finance or similar fields.
• Strong technical knowledge will be a significant advantage. Specifically, knowledge of programming languages and an understanding of relational database concepts (including SQL).

Other key technology skills we look for include:

• Aladdin suite experience
• Coding experience within Compliance Monitoring tools (Aladdin, Sentinel, Charles River, thinkFolio, or In-House systems) (preferable)
• Strong Microsoft Office knowledge
• Proven interpersonal skills
• Strong multi-tasking skills and attention to detail
