About Product Strategy
Product Strategists serve as a link between portfolio managers and our clients globally. We are product experts covering 5 -10 investment strategies on average. We work closely with portfolio managers and other product strategists, using our deep understanding of products and markets to make the investment process more relatable to our clients.
We are expanding our Product Strategy team in Budapest, which serves as the innovation hub of the team's production of timely and effective marketing materials, product presentations and response to client inquiries. In addition to servicing existing clients, product strategists have an opportunity to help drive new business and assist the firm with achieving its commercial objectives. We currently have a number of roles available, covering Fundamental Equities or Systematic Investing.
Our team in Budapest covers BlackRock's Portfolio Management Group (PMG). We provide coverage across a multitude of asset classes and investment styles globally over BlackRock's Active Investments Platform: Budapest-based strategists are working directly with one or more investment teams across locations such as London, New York, San Francisco and Hong Kong.

Our hybrid work model

Employees are currently required to work at least 3 days in the office each week, with the flexibility to work from home up to 2 days a week; some business groups may require more time in the office due to their roles and responsibilities. Beginning in September, all employees will shift to at least 4 days in the office per week, with the flexibility to work from home 1 day a week. We remain focused on increasing the impactful moments that arise when we work together in person - aligned with our commitment to performance and innovation. As a new joiner, you can count on this hybrid model to accelerate your learning and onboarding experience here at BlackRock.
About BlackRock
At BlackRock, we are all connected by one mission: to help more and more people experience financial well-being. Our clients, and the people they serve, are saving for retirement, paying for their children's educations, buying homes and starting businesses. Their investments also help to strengthen the global economy: support businesses small and large; finance infrastructure projects that connect and power cities; and facilitate innovations that drive progress.
This mission would not be possible without our smartest investment - the one we make in our employees. It's why we're dedicated to creating an environment where our colleagues feel welcomed, valued and supported with networks, benefits and development opportunities to help them thrive.
