The Company

Few organizations can keep up with the fast-paced, 24/7 nature of today's media coverage; even fewer can claim to have helped shape it. Bloomberg is the leading global provider of financial data, news and analytics. Bloomberg provides real-time and archived financial and market data, pricing, trading, news and communications tools to corporations, news organizations, financial and legal professionals and individuals around the world.

Bloomberg is creating a new web-based information product that will report on, analyze and quantify the impact of government actions on business and industry. It will bring the same unparalleled level of fact-based, objective reporting and analysis to policymaking as it has provided to the financial community for the past 27 years.

The Role

Bloomberg is seeking a Content Collection Specialist to join the Bloomberg Government team. The Analyst will be responsible for helping to expand the amount of Internet content on the Bloomberg Government product. The individual will work with business teams and internal clients to research and identify potential collection sources. In addition the Analyst will use software to set up automated collection routines and ensure that these routines are timely, complete and accurate. Experience in use of software to mine information from the Web is preferred. Experience with or proven interest in Government data is a must.
