Our Team

The Bloomberg Networks Communications team oversees the procurement, design and delivery of telecommunication services for Bloomberg and its customers. We're responsible for Telecom Service Provider relationships to design, order and support over 20,000 unique connections globally. We work collaboratively with our Network Operations team and Implementation Specialist team to design and order connectivity for Bloomberg and our customers.

Once installed, we support our existing connectivity through active management of Service Providers when challenges arise. This includes leading escalation calls, design reviews and having an understanding of domestic, submarine and terrestrial cable routes. We're also involved in proof-of-concept product and design testing with our Network Engineering team, the design and support of Bloomberg data centers, invoice approvals and network audits.
 
What’s the role?
We’re looking for a proactive representative to manage our Telecommunications Service Providers and daily implementations.

• A minimum of 5 years Telecommunication industry experience or data center infrastructure experience; Familiarity with MPLS carrier Ethernet Networks, Switched Networks TDM, Cross Connects, Wave, Voice (PRI/SIP/POTS), and other industry trends
