I am an analyst in the Field Marketing & Strategy group within the Global Wealth Management Channel. We market to the internal and external wholesalers who, in turn, reach the end client – the financial advisors. We communicate with them on thematic campaigns, product launches, sales ideas, road shows, conferences and meetings. I learn a great deal in my interactions with numerous groups including product specialists, ebusiness, legal, wholesalers and the business analytics group.

Hear Miri talk about her experience at BlackRock.

Diverse Backgrounds, One Goal
The most challenging part is prioritizing between the numerous, yet equally important clients and responding to sudden changes in the market. The BlackRock culture is teamwork-oriented. People with diverse backgrounds come together for one goal -- to serve our clients. Unlike other established firms, BlackRock is an expanding company with unlimited opportunities and growth potential.

A Wealth of Opportunities
I joined BlackRock as I wanted to grow with a company that capitalizes on new opportunities. I love that it is expanding and that there are so many new opportunities out there.

A Day in My Life at BlackRock

7:45 a.m. – Get to work. Read up on industry trends through Ignites, Fundfire, Wall Street Journal, etc.

8:00 a.m. – Wholesaler meeting. Attend the internal wholesaler meeting. Sometimes I present on various sales ideas, news updates and campaign ideas.

11:00 a.m. – Brainstorming session. Meeting with colleagues to come up with new sales ideas, campaign headlines, banners and materials. Communicate cross-channel to leverage our resources.

2:00 p.m. – Product analysis. Work with the product specialists to obtain information on a specific fund or account. Obtain product positioning information and complete analysis.

4:00 p.m. – Work with legal team. Work with the legal department to get materials finalized according to regulatory standards.

5:00 p.m. – Fulfill wholesalers' requests. Complete requests received from internal wholesalers. When the markets close at 4 pm, there is more time to follow-up on less immediate matters.

6:00 p.m. – Wrap up open projects or requests. Go home.
