At the center of this platform is Aladdin, our enterprise investment management system used by portfolio managers, risk teams, operations, and executives supporting over 1,000 institutional investors globally.

The Aladdin Client Engagement team partners directly with clients to help them maximize the value of Aladdin. We operate as trusted advisors, bringing product expertise, market knowledge, and a deep understanding of each client's investment and operational needs to drive adoption, solve problems, and unlock measurable business outcomes.

• Guide clients across the full investment and portfolio lifecycle, helping them fully leverage Aladdin's capabilities across trading, risk, operations, and reporting workflows.
• Stay current on regulatory, market, and operational trends to proactively advise clients and anticipate impacts to their investment process.
• Serve as a workflow subject matter expert, building depth in multiple Aladdin product areas and using this expertise to support broader client and internal conversations.
• Help Client Engagement leads with harvesting and onboarding additional client business by coordinating across product and sales teams
• Educate clients on Aladdin's regulatory and reporting capabilities, helping them adopt and operationalize key workflows.
• Lead internal stakeholder discussions to align on client priorities and guide product development using clear insights on client needs.
