This is a unique opportunity to build and scale partnerships across leading retail brokerage and fintech platforms, while helping define BlackRock’s long-term strategy in the digital wealth ecosystem.

Reporting to the Head of the US Direct business, the Director of Business & Platform Development will own and drive BlackRock’s partnership and client coverage strategy across the digital wealth ecosystem, serving as the lead relationship manager for key retail brokerage and platform partners, leading the identification, development, and execution of high-impact commercial opportunities.

This individual will serve as a senior external representative of BlackRock to key digital platforms and will be responsible for originating and advancing strategic partnerships that drive measurable business outcomes, including asset growth, product adoption, and platform integration.

This role is a unique opportunity to shape BlackRock’s position in one of the most important and fast-evolving segments of wealth management – defining how products, technology, and content come together to serve the next generation of self-directed investors.

As a new joiner, you can count on this hybrid model to accelerate your learning and onboarding experience here at BlackRock.

Guidance on AI use for candidates

At BlackRock, AI has long been part of how we work – enhancing decision-making, improving operations, and helping us deliver better outcomes for clients. We encourage candidates to use AI thoughtfully to learn, prepare, and work more effectively; but during our interview process, we want to focus on getting to know you through your own experiences, thinking, and judgment. To support you, we’ve provided guidance on when and how to use AI during our hiring process so you can approach each step with confidence and showcase your best self.

At BlackRock, we are all connected by one mission: to help more and more people experience financial well-being. Our clients, and the people they serve, are saving for retirement, paying for their children’s educations, buying homes and starting businesses. Their investments also help to strengthen the global economy: support businesses small and large; finance infrastructure projects that connect and power cities; and facilitate innovations that drive progress.

This mission would not be possible without our smartest investment – the one we make in our employees. It’s why we’re dedicated to creating an environment where our colleagues feel welcomed, valued and supported with networks, benefits and development opportunities to help them thrive.
