Investments – Investment Research – 2027 Analyst Program

Investments – Investment Research – 2027 Analyst Program Overview

This is a two-year full-time analyst programme for early-career candidates in the EMEA region. It is intended for people who have recently completed, or are due to complete, a bachelor’s or master’s degree and want to begin their careers in a structured development environment at BlackRock. The programme is built to help analysts connect their personal interests and strengths with the firm’s mission, principles, and wider purpose, while also giving them practical exposure to the day-to-day work of an analyst.

Programme overview

The programme starts with an orientation period that introduces participants to BlackRock’s purpose, business, and strategic priorities. It also gives new analysts a clearer understanding of what the role involves in practice. After this initial onboarding, analysts join their teams and continue developing through training and professional learning opportunities. The experience is designed to provide both support and responsibility, with the aim of helping participants make a lasting contribution to the firm.

BlackRock describes the programme as part of its broader effort to help more people achieve financial well-being. Analysts are expected to contribute to that mission while building their own skills and experience in a global organisation.
