Aladdin Portfolio Management Product - Technical Product Manager

BlackRock is the world’s leading asset management firm and Aladdin is the central nervous system for investment professionals to see their whole portfolio, understand risk exposure, and act with precision. It is a $1BN+ technology business that has significant growth aspirations over the next five years. Being a part of BlackRock means being a part of a community of smart, results-oriented people who are pursuing some of the world’s most sophisticated financial challenges. And our founder‑led culture has maintained its results‑oriented feel — we work hard, we work as a team, and we work with purpose. Being a member of Aladdin Product means working with the best in the industry to build innovative products that shape financial markets.

Sitting at the intersection of business, design, and technology

The Aladdin Product Management team works closely with developers, designers, researchers, data scientists, and other stakeholders to innovate, conceptualize, design, and pilot new capabilities across the investment lifecycle. As a Technical Product Manager, you will help define product vision and lead day‑to‑day execution of the roadmap, with a strong focus on user experience, platform APIs, and AI‑enabled capabilities. There are many strategic areas that need exploration, evaluation, and prioritization, while in parallel ensuring that the tactical needs for continuing to deliver high‑quality products are met.

You are:

• Passionate about building technical, user‑centered solutions in close partnership with engineering and UX/UI teams

• A self‑starter who enjoys solving complex problems that deepen understanding of end users and their workflows

• Comfortable translating user needs into scalable APIs, data models, and platform capabilities

• AI‑curious and AI‑practical: you actively use AI tools to accelerate discovery, writing, analysis, and experimentation, and can distinguish durable product value from one‑off demos

• Curious to learn new skills and willing to embrace work outside of your comfort zone

• Comfortable challenging the status quo and using your entrepreneurial spirit to create new solutions

• A team player energized by working in a fast‑paced, highly collaborative environment

We are:

• Passionate about building innovative, intuitive products that meet the needs of our clients

• Building AI‑enabled capabilities responsibly, with a strong focus on trust, governance, and measurable outcomes

• Comfortable challenging the status quo and continuously improving how we deliver value

• Curious about financial markets, design systems, and the evolving technology ecosystem

• Results‑oriented and metrics‑driven

• Committed to fostering a purpose‑driven culture and working horizontally to break down silos

Skills / Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience in product management, business analysis, or client‑facing roles involving the delivery of technology products in B2B or B2C environments

• Working knowledge of modern front‑end frameworks (JavaScript, Angular, React) to collaborate effectively with engineering teams

• Demonstrated experience partnering with UX/UI designers on interaction design, workflow optimization, and usability testing

• Comfort working with APIs and data in product contexts, including reading API specifications, understanding request/response patterns, authentication, rate limits, and failure modes

• Ability to reason about system integrations, data models (structured and unstructured), and their impact on user experience

• Hands‑on comfort using AI tools in daily product work (e.g., research, synthesis, drafting requirements, competitive analysis), with appropriate judgment and confidentiality

• Familiarity with AI product patterns and risks, including model limitations, evaluation approaches, and human‑in‑the‑loop design

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a bias for action

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly

• Ability to make data‑driven decisions and deliver results quickly

• BA/BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Finance, or equivalent practical experience

Primary Responsibilities:

• Partner with teams across Aladdin and interact with senior stakeholders to drive strategic product decisions that accelerate the platform’s evolution

• Define and document detailed product requirements, including UX flows, API contracts, and data interfaces

• Collaborate closely with design to ensure products are intuitive, consistent, and aligned with Aladdin design standards

• Identify opportunities where AI can improve user workflows (e.g., insight generation, explanation, automation, natural‑language interaction), and ensure thoughtful, transparent application

• Attend and help manage agile development rituals such as stand‑ups, planning, demos, and retrospectives

• Develop, prioritize, and maintain product roadmaps; provide regular updates on progress and deliverables

• Maintain and manage product backlogs and tooling (e.g., Aha!) across the program

• Keep abreast of the competitive landscape, emerging technologies, and opportunities for partnership

• Become a subject matter expert and provide technical and product expertise to internal stakeholders, sales teams, and clients
