What's the role?

Are you passionate about the financial markets and excited by the prospect of creating customized solutions for the world's leading financial professionals? If so, join us for a ten-week summer internship in our Sales and Analytics group, a key part of our Financial Products business.

You'll learn about our businesses, while also building a foundation for a full-time career at Bloomberg. You'll receive training on our products and services, learn about our clients and their needs, and gain insight into global financial markets.

What's Financial Products all about?

The Financial Products team provides analysis and data to Bloomberg clients. We deliver the company's core product, the legendary Bloomberg Professional Service that is often known as the Bloomberg Terminal, reaching more than 320,000 subscribers and millions of business professionals.

What we do in Sales and Analytics

Sales and Analytics work together as partners to provide value-added business solutions to our customers through the Bloomberg Professional Service.
· Our team of Analytics Representatives delivers exceptional service through real-time chats, phone calls and face-to-face trainings to our customers on a daily basis. The team showcases basic and advanced Bloomberg solutions to meet our clients' specific workflow needs.
· Our Terminal Sales team is responsible for demonstrating the advantages of our suite of solutions to both potential and existing clients. With a consultative approach, they identify our clients' needs and present Bloomberg solutions to help them make the best investment or trading decisions.

What to expect from your internship opportunity

Your internship starts with an orientation that introduces you to our culture and the state-of-the-art Bloomberg Terminal. You'll then rotate between the Sales and Analytics teams to gain extensive exposure to both business areas, expanding your knowledge of the financial markets and the Terminal.

You'll also:

· Receive in-depth training in customer service and sales
· Work on individual and group projects, with the opportunity to deliver presentations to senior management
· Interact with clients through Help Desk chats, sales prospecting calls, and in-person sales meetings
· Attend the Summer Speaker Series, featuring presentations by Bloomberg senior leaders
