About this role
Business Overview
The Risk & Quantitative Analysis (RQA) group provides independent oversight of BlackRock's fiduciary and enterprise risks. RQA's mission is to advance the firm's risk management practices and deliver independent risk advice and constructive challenge to drive better business and investment outcomes. While fulfilling this mission, RQA provides quantitative analysis and evidence-based insights to many of BlackRock's businesses, helping to promote the spread of best practices across the firm. RQA promotes BlackRock as a leader in risk management by providing independent top-down and bottom-up oversight to help identify investment, counterparty, operational, regulatory, technology, and third-party risks. Within this, third-party risk management is a critical lever of operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and client protection given the firm's increasing reliance on complex external ecosystems.
RQA is committed to investing in our people to promote both individual accomplishment and a strong collaborative environment. As a global group, our goal is to create a culture of inclusion which encourages teamwork, innovation, diversity and the development of future leaders. We actively engage in discussions on career growth and work with team members to understand how personal passions and strengths connect with our purpose.
Third Party Risk
The Third Party Risk Management team works with internal and external business and risk partners to identify the risks that existing, and potential, third parties introduce to BlackRock and our clients, and assess controls to mitigate those risks through initial and ongoing due diligence, incident management and performance monitoring. BlackRock's third parties include, but are not limited to, fund operations providers, technology vendors, index and market data providers. The team operates within the second line of defense, partnering with business owners, sourcing, and specialist risk teams to ensure risks are identified, assessed, managed and escalated in line with the firm's risk appetite and regulatory expectations.
