Vice President, AI Data Scientist, Private Markets

About this role

VP – AI/ML - Private Markets

Forward-deployed AI leadership for connected private-markets intelligence Build AI systems that connect fragmented evidence, reason across complex entity networks and turn trusted private-markets data into scalable research and decision intelligence.

Your team You will join a forward-deployed, multidisciplinary AI and data science team working at the intersection of advanced AI, knowledge engineering, private-markets research and enterprise product delivery. We partner directly with researchers, data specialists, product leaders and engineers to solve high-value problems across funds, investors, fund managers, companies, deals, service providers and the relationships that connect them. Our focus is to transform fragmented public, contributed and derived information into trusted, connected and decision-ready intelligence. We combine domain expertise, strong data foundations, human judgment and rigorous engineering to build capabilities that can be reused across data acquisition, research, validation, enrichment and data management. You will work in an environment where applied research is expected to become dependable production capability, and where quality, provenance, security and responsible human oversight are designed in from the start.

Your role & impact As Vice President, AI Data Scientist, you will be a senior player-coach and technical owner for a portfolio of graph-enabled AI capabilities. You will work directly with users to identify consequential problems, test the right technical approach and lead delivery from discovery through governed production and adoption. Your core mandate is to research, build and scale enterprise-grade multi-agent LLM systems, with particular depth in knowledge graphs, graph-enabled agent interactions and predictive modelling across connected entity networks. You will determine when graph reasoning, retrieval, machine learning, agentic orchestration or deterministic services best fit the problem, rather than defaulting to complexity. Your impact will be visible in stronger data coverage and quality, faster and more effective research, better relationship intelligence, scalable automation and new insights that help BlackRock Preqin remain at the forefront of private-markets data and technology. You will also raise the technical bar by developing people, codifying reusable patterns and translating research advances into practical enterprise capability.
