About this role
Business Unit Overview:
BlackRock Finance consists of finance professionals across several disciplines such as Financial Planning & Analysis, Treasury, Tax, Finance Controls, Global Strategic Sourcing ("GSS"), Finance Platform Support and Controllers. GSS is a global team, with team members primarily based in New York, Gurgaon, Edinburgh and Budapest. GSS aims to be an organization of trusted strategic sourcing advisors enabling BlackRock to achieve more value. The GSS team advises and supports business functions on all their supplier-related initiatives whether they involve supplier identification, evaluation, selection, negotiation, performance management or escalation management. GSS seeks to avoid certain costs, deliver tangible cost reductions, furnish reliable analytical data and insights for improved decision making, and enable a socially responsible and diverse supplier base.
Operational excellence, risk management, and disciplined third-party engagement are foundational to BlackRock's ability to deliver long-term value at global scale. As technology, data, and professional services become increasingly critical to the firm's operating platform-and as regulatory expectations continue to rise-BlackRock is making a strategic investment in senior sourcing leadership.
We are hiring two distinct, senior-level professional roles within Global Strategic Sourcing (GSS), each with material enterprise impact:
Vice President, Technology Sourcing (Individual Contributor, reporting to the Technology Category Lead) negotiating enterprise-level software or hardware purchase agreements with the mega-tech, AI, and fintech vendors as well as value-added resellers. This individual should be comfortable with build vs. buy vs. lease analyses.
Category Lead, Professional Services Sourcing (People leader with global teams in Gurgaon, Budapest, and London) supporting stakeholders in the Audit, Tax, Investment and Regulatory Due Diligence, Financial Print, and Proxy Governance & Voting environments. This individual should be comfortable with various BPO/outsourcing arrangements and SLAs/XLAs.
Both roles are highly visible, sit at the intersection of business strategy, risk, technology, and finance, and offer exceptional exposure to senior enterprise leadership. Both will drive high-impact initiatives that reshape our global sourcing landscape and optimize third-party spend, with a particular focus on software application rationalization and contingent worker spend consolidation.
