Investments – Portfolio Management – 2027 Analyst Program Overview

This is a two-year full-time analyst programme for early-career candidates joining BlackRock across the EMEA region. The programme is designed to help analysts connect their own interests and strengths with the firm’s mission, principles, and purpose, while building practical experience in a global investment environment. It begins with an introductory orientation and then moves into team placement, where analysts continue learning through training and development opportunities while contributing to the work of the business.

Programme overview

The analyst programme is intended for candidates who will complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree between June 2026 and July 2027. The expected start month is August, although the firm may consider earlier start dates in some cases. The programme is open to applicants from any degree background, reflecting BlackRock’s interest in a broad range of academic disciplines and perspectives.
