Continuous innovation helps us bring the best of BlackRock to our clients, particularly as we expand and deepen our leadership in private markets, supported by Aladdin - BlackRock's end to end investment, risk and data platform. In this context, our key focus is building out front office capabilities to support deal & asset level analysis both for corporate and asset based underlying.

Against this backdrop, the Private Markets Analytics Product team is looking for a Head of Asset level Analytics to lead the buildout of these capabilities - working closely with partners across Aladdin Product, Engineering, Data and broader BlackRock. The Private Markets Analytics Product team is focused on building the premier private markets analytics platform to support BlackRock's 2030 strategy. In practice this means: 1) crystallizing client needs and setting product strategy, 2) coordinating analytics delivery across Aladdin - from data to models & analytics services to user experience, and 3) assessing inorganic opportunities & partnerships that help us move faster. The ideal candidate will combine: i) a credit analytics background including a strong understanding of the private credit business context and resulting use cases, ii) strong horizontal leadership and coordination skills to bring multiple groups together, and iii) excellent problem solving skills that bridge technical and organizational aspects to move forward at pace.

This includes coordination of multiple delivery streams in line with PDLC / MDLC best practices and an "AI first" mindset as well as managing monthly Steering Committee updates on private markets asset level topics. Team development: lead a broad virtual team focused on asset level analytics - across many teams within Aladdin helping embed the deal level mindset and language to connect better with end users in this space. Stakeholder engagement: build strong relationships across BlackRock teams, with particular focus on PFS, RQA, PMG and GIP. Required Skills Industry experience: 10+ years of experience in credit with material exposure to unlisted credit (e.g. private credit underwriting, credit agency, bank lending, credit risk advisory). The ideal candidate will combine strong understanding of credit analytics techniques, ecosystem context (Insurance, Banks, Asset Managers) as well as use case depth (pre and post investment, PM/deal team and risk management). Horizontal leadership: demonstrated ability to lead across multiple verticals and matrixed organization structures, connecting BlackRock investment teams, client facing teams as well as Product, Engineering and Data teams across Aladdin. Critical thinking and problem solving: ability frame problems and to define path forward in the absence of an industry standard. In addition, the candidate should be comfortable challenging the status quo - asking hard question on why things are the way they are and proposing alternative solutions. Communication skills: demonstrated ability to simplify complex problems and crystallize proposed solutions in writing is critical given the number of teams involved and complexity of the content. Client delivery orientation: ability to listen and fully understand client needs (starting with BlackRock) is critical, to ensure the solutions designed are geared towards delightful client experience with analytics. AI proficiency: hands on comfort using AI tools (e.g., prompt based research, synthesis, data exploration - with awareness of AI limitations) and prompt engineering fundamentals (ability to create, test, iterate, and evaluate prompts/workflows to achieve consistent outputs).

About this role BlackRock is a global asset manager and technology provider dedicated to helping more and more people experience financial well being. Continuous innovation helps us bring the best of BlackRock to our clients, particularly as we expand and deepen our leadership in private markets, supported by Aladdin - BlackRock's end to end investment, risk and data platform. In this context, our key focus is building out front office capabilities to support deal & asset level analysis both for corporate and asset based underlying. This is critical for direct investors (GPs) to support their investment lifecycle on Aladdin, but also for allocators (LPs) who are looking for greater transparency on their portfolios and increasingly hold direct investments. Against this backdrop, the Private Markets Analytics Product team is looking for a Head of Asset level Analytics to lead the buildout of these capabilities - working closely with partners across Aladdin Product, Engineering, Data and broader BlackRock. The Private Markets Analytics Product team is focused on building the premier private markets analytics platform to support BlackRock's 2030 strategy. In practice this means: 1) crystallizing client needs and setting product strategy, 2) coordinating analytics delivery across Aladdin - from data to models & analytics services to user experience, and 3) assessing inorganic opportunities & partnerships that help us move faster. The ideal candidate will combine: i) a credit analytics background including a strong understanding of the private credit business context and resulting use cases, ii) strong horizontal leadership and coordination skills to bring multiple groups together, and iii) excellent problem solving skills that bridge technical and organizational aspects to move forward at pace. Key Responsibilities Set Product strategy: drive asset level analytics product strategy, leveraging a deep understanding of client needs (BlackRock risk and investment teams focused on Private credit, Asset based Finance, Infrastructure) as well as growing number of Aladdin clients that are leveraging Private Credit investment book of record functionality. Lead Analytics Product Delivery: coordinate analytics delivery across the Aladdin value chain to ensure quality end user experience - from data to models to analytics factory to APIs / UX, connecting people across Product, Engineering and Data organizations within Aladdin. This includes coordination of multiple delivery streams in line with PDLC / MDLC best practices and an "AI first" mindset as well as managing monthly Steering Committee updates on private markets asset level topics. Team development: lead a broad virtual team focused on asset level analytics - across many teams within Aladdin helping embed the deal level mindset and language to connect better with end users in this space. Stakeholder engagement: build strong relationships across BlackRock teams, with particular focus on PFS, RQA, PMG and GIP. Required Skills Industry experience: 10+ years of experience in credit with material exposure to unlisted credit (e.g. private credit underwriting, credit agency, bank lending, credit risk advisory). The ideal candidate will combine strong understanding of credit analytics techniques, ecosystem context (Insurance, Banks, Asset Managers) as well as use case depth (pre and post investment, PM/deal team and risk management). Horizontal leadership: demonstrated ability to lead across multiple verticals and matrixed organization structures, connecting BlackRock investment teams, client facing teams as well as Product, Engineering and Data teams across Aladdin. Critical thinking and problem solving: ability frame problems and to define path forward in the absence of an industry standard. In addition, the candidate should be comfortable challenging the status quo - asking hard question on why things are the way they are and proposing alternative solutions. Communication skills: demonstrated ability to simplify complex problems and crystallize proposed solutions in writing is critical given the number of teams involved and complexity of the content. Client delivery orientation: ability to listen and fully understand client needs (starting with BlackRock) is critical, to ensure the solutions designed are geared towards delightful client experience with analytics. AI proficiency: hands on comfort using AI tools (e.g., prompt based research, synthesis, data exploration - with awareness of AI limitations) and prompt engineering fundamentals (ability to create, test, iterate, and evaluate prompts/workflows to achieve consistent outputs). Preferred Qualifications and Skills CFA or CAIA qualification preferred Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and advanced degree preferred Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Word Prior exposure to private markets investment technology platforms (e.g. Aladdin/eFront, Chronograph, BlackMountain) preferred Our benefits To help you stay energized, engaged and inspired, we offer a wide range of employee benefits including: retirement investment and tools designed to help you in building a sound financial future; access to education reimbursement; comprehensive resources to support your physical health and emotional well being; family support programs; and Flexible Time Off (FTO) so you can relax, recharge and be there for the people you care about. Our hybrid work model BlackRock's hybrid work model is designed to enable a culture of collaboration and apprenticeship that enriches the experience of our employees, while supporting flexibility for all. Employees are currently required to work at least 4 days in the office per week, with the flexibility to work from home 1 day a week.

The Executive Director will be a thought partner, but the program is yours to run. What you'll inherit: A program that's achieved strong outcomes to date and is ready to scale 2x this year $6.5m in secured funding for the fellowship through 2027 Marketing and recruitment processes that recently attracted 1,600+ applications A team of 2 with experience spanning journalism, AI policy, and computer science Strong relationships with 25+ newsroom partners, including Bloomberg, The Guardian, and many morw A 3-month training curriculum, covering AI and journalism fundamentals Ideas for how to expand the fellowship in 2027 and beyond (e.g. adding a podcasting fellowship, a video/documentary fellowship, an editorial fellowship, a Substack fellowship) Strong performers will have a clear path to Chief Programs Officer within 18-24 months, overseeing the fellowship, residency, and future talent programs with a combined budget of $8M+. Responsibilities: Program strategy and leadership: You'll own the fellowship end-to-end. This means setting the vision, defining annual goals, and making the key decisions that determine whether the program succeeds. You'll work closely with the Executive Director as a thought partner, but the fellowship is yours to run. People management: You'll build and lead a growing team, starting with 2 direct reports, potentially growing to 5+ over time. This includes hiring, coaching, and developing your team members. "Hire the best, then invest" is a core operating value at Tarbell - you'll help your people develop into increasingly senior roles with greater responsibility. Fellow recruitment and selection: You'll design recruitment strategies to attract 2,000+ applications annually from top emerging journalists and AI talent globally. You'll lead our multi-stage vetting process-reviewing applications, evaluating writing samples, conducting interviews-and make final selection decisions. The top 0.1% of potential candidates should end up in our program; you'll ensure this happens. Training and curriculum: You'll oversee our 10-week AI Journalism Fundamentals course and week-long Bay Area Summit. This means shaping the curriculum, recruiting expert speakers and instructors, and continuously improving the program based on fellow feedback. Past speakers have included Jack Clark (Anthropic), Kevin Roose (NYT), Helen Toner (ex-OpenAI board), and senior reporters from the Financial Times, Bloomberg, and TIME. Systems and operations: You'll build scalable systems for recruitment, training, placement, and ongoing fellow support - ensuring the fellowship can grow from 15 to 30+ fellows without quality dropping. You'll create clear milestones, track progress, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Who we're looking for We're open to two distinct candidate profiles: deep expertise in journalism OR artificial intelligence. You need one, not both. Journalism profile: Substantial experience in professional journalism. You understand how newsrooms operate, what makes exceptional reporting, and can evaluate journalistic quality with rigor. You've likely worked at or closely with top-tier outlets, possibly as a senior editor. Ideally, you've trained journalists, and know how to turn people into world-class reporters. AI profile: Strong understanding of AI concepts (transformers, scaling laws, capabilities evaluations) and governance (responsible scaling policies, compute governance). Deep familiarity with the key players and debates in the AI landscape. Whichever profile you come from, you must demonstrate genuine interest and potential in the other domain. AI experts should show they understand what makes great journalism; journalists should show they can engage seriously with technical AI developments. We also expect: Leadership experience. 5+ years of experience managing high-performing teams. You have good judgment about people, can have difficult conversations constructively, and know how to build and lead teams through organizational change. Exceptional project management skills. You build systems that scale, maintain standards under pressure, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You might have honed these skills at a leading newsroom, a high-performing startup, a top consulting firm, or a fast-growing AI institution. Independent execution. You take ownership of complex programs and drive them forward without needing constant direction, even when that means doing difficult or unusual work yourself. Talent identification. You can quickly assess whether someone will succeed in a demanding role. You've led hiring rounds before, and have experience evaluating work against world-class standards. You know the difference between "good" and "excellent" and can articulate why. Clear communication. Your writing is concise and persuasive. You can represent the organization professionally in high-stakes situations with newsrooms and stakeholders. Mission alignment. You believe in Tarbell's mission to support journalism that helps society navigate the development and deployment of advanced AI. We care more about evidence of these criteria than a conventional resume. If your background is unusual but you can demonstrate these capabilities, we want to hear from you. Salary and location We'll offer a salary of $115,000 - $160,000+ in the US; £75,000 - £90,000+ in the UK based on experience and seniority. Our benefits include: 33 days of annual leave in total (including national holidays) 16 weeks of paid parental leave, increasing to 24 weeks after 3 years of service $5,000 per year in professional development funding Up to 5% employer contribution towards a standard pension/401(k) For employees based in the US: Platinum health, dental, and vision plans, with 95% of premiums paid for by Tarbell . click apply for full job details
