Vice President - Employee Compliance Advisory

About this role

Your team

Employee Compliance sits within BlackRock's Legal & Compliance function and is responsible for the framework governing employees' personal activities. The EMEA Employee Compliance Advisory team provides practical advice and guidance on Employee Compliance requirements and supports the identification, assessment, and management of employee conflicts. The team operates within a globally consistent framework while providing regionally attuned engagement, local regulatory interpretation, and judgment-based review across EMEA.

Your role and impact

As Vice President, EMEA Employee Compliance Advisory, you will provide clear, practical, risk-based advice across the region, with a particular focus on personal trading, private investments, Outside Business Activities (OBA), and Gifts & Entertainment (G&E). You will manage complex, sensitive, and higher-risk matters while providing high-touch support to the EMEA executive population. You will apply sound judgment and discretion, help ensure advice and outcomes are consistent and well documented, and use insights from advisory activity to identify emerging risks and recurring themes that can strengthen the broader Employee Compliance program.

Your responsibilities

In every role at BlackRock, you'll be expected to apply sound judgement and critical thinking to solve complex problems, adapt as the business evolves, and combine the curiosity to explore new approaches and technologies with the rigor to challenge the results. The scope of this role also includes the following responsibilities:

• Provide practical, risk-based Employee Compliance advice across EMEA, managing employee queries and submissions relating to personal trading, private investments, OBA, and G&E, and escalating novel or judgment-based matters appropriately.
• Issue non-compliance notifications and support targeted OBA and G&E campaigns, training, and employee communications across the region.
• Review policy exceptions, escalations, and pre-clearance requests across personal trading, private investments, OBA, and G&E, ensuring decisions and conditions are appropriately documented.
• Provide high-touch support to the EMEA executive population and engage effectively with executive assistants, family offices, financial advisers, and brokers while maintaining appropriate policy standards and discretion.
• Deliver training and communications for functions supporting executives and assist in resolving legacy records and data issues.
• Operate the regional advisory hotline, support regulatory and audit activity, and contribute to regional training and local policy implementation.
• Maintain connectivity with regional Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) and partner across Program Operations, Advisory Compliance, Information Barriers/Control Room, Legal, and Human Resources, using advisory activity and case trends to inform policies, procedures, controls, training, and communications.

Your experience

• Significant relevant experience in Compliance, Legal, Risk, or a related control function within financial services, ideally within asset management, investment management, or banking.
• Strong subject-matter expertise in employee compliance and personal conflicts, including personal trading, private investments, Outside Business Activities (OBA), and Gifts & Entertainment (G&E).
• Strong understanding of regulatory and conflicts-of-interest considerations relating to employees' personal activities, Codes of Ethics, and EMEA conduct and personal-account-dealing requirements.
• Proven ability to assess complex, sensitive, and judgment-based matters, apply sound risk judgment, make well-reasoned decisions, and escalate appropriately.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to translate complex requirements into clear, practical guidance and constructively challenge stakeholders at different levels of the organization.
• Experience working across compliance functions and centralized operations, combined with the discretion, organization, and relationship-management skills required to support senior executives and their representatives.
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; an advanced legal, compliance, or related professional qualification is advantageous. Experience with private markets or private-investment reviews would also be beneficial.
