Vp, Client Platform Communications

About this role

About the Global Client Business

The Global Client Business has two primary objectives. The first is to deliver the firm locally to clients around the world, to build our brand, and to represent BlackRock to external partners. The second is to listen and bring back insights and opportunities from what clients and key partners in the financial system are saying and thinking. Both elements require tight coordination with all other areas of BlackRock to succeed.
A top priority is to bring the best of our investment and industry insight to clients to help them solve financial, portfolio, and commercial issues. This priority is especially urgent given the investment, geopolitical, and macroeconomic regime changes our clients face today. And as we do, we will also develop a global, systematic view of their challenges to help the firm as a whole anticipate and meet their needs.
