Your team
BlackRock Alternative Investors (BAI) brings together capabilities across real estate, infrastructure, credit, private equity, and hedge funds through a shared operating approach. The platform offers broad alternatives expertise and opportunities to collaborate with teams across the firm as the business continues to develop its alternatives-investment capabilities.
The Alternatives Client Services (ACS) team supports BlackRock's privately placed alternatives products, including hedge funds, funds of hedge funds, private credit, private equity, and real asset funds. The team supports investors throughout the fund lifecycle and is responsible for investor onboarding, report distribution, transfer-agency oversight, investor queries, internal and external reporting, and client-data management.

- Research, evaluate, and implement new or revised regulatory reporting requirements for products and transactions.
- Assess current client-data platforms and user needs, document improvement opportunities, and develop a future-state roadmap that addresses operational constraints and dependencies.
- Partner with Legal and Tax to develop standardized subscription documentation that supports digital investor onboarding.
- Lead project management, integration testing, and implementation activities for digital investor-onboarding capabilities.
- Collaborate with external transfer agents and internal stakeholders to define efficient investor-onboarding and AML and KYC review workflows.
Your experience
