BlackRock expands digital-assets team globally — hires across US, Europe and Asia to boost ETFs, tokenization and compliance

BlackRock has posted multiple senior and mid-level job openings across the US, Europe and Asia as it scales its digital-assets business. Roles announced by Robert Mitchnick, BlackRock’s global head of digital assets, cover New York, San Francisco, Wilmington, London, Dublin and Singapore and range from associate to managing director level. Specific vacancies include Digital Assets Associate, Managing Director (including Head of Research), Product Strategist, Fund Services — Digital Asset Tokenization, EMEA Digital Assets Lawyer and financial-crime compliance roles. Job descriptions reference work on crypto assets, stablecoins and tokenization; experience requirements run from 3–6 years for associate roles to 12+ years for senior hires. One New York Managing Director listing shows a $270,000–$350,000 salary range and a hybrid (minimum four days/week) schedule. BlackRock is already a leading issuer of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and launched the first tokenized fund on Ethereum last year. This hiring push signals institutional scaling of crypto capabilities — expect potential acceleration of ETF product rollouts, new tokenized real-world-asset offerings and deeper liquidity or custody programs. Traders should monitor upcoming SEC ETF filings, specific technical and regulatory hires, regional base announcements, and job descriptions for clues on timelines (likely 6–18 months), product scope and market impact.
