We’re Bloomberg Enterprise Data – exciting and innovative with a rapidly expanding successful business across the globe. We partner closely with our clients, taking time to understand their unique businesses and individual data and technology needs. Our endless selection of data sets, covering all asset types, with multiple delivery technologies and flexible scheduling mean our clients are able to get exactly the data they need, when they need it, in the format they prefer. Without us, they simply can’t operate.

We form deep, lasting relationships right from a senior level, ensuring we are the technology and data partner they turn to first to advance their business. We keep a keen eye out for opportunities as we advocate for Bloomberg within our clients as well as advocating for our clients within Bloomberg.

You'll be hands-on in driving the team to execute a variety of projects and technical enhancements to help our clients make major technology and data decisions. Under your guidance and support, the team services our clients through taking complex inquiries with the expectation that you are a point of escalation for clients and colleagues.

As part of the leadership of our APAC Enterprise Data team in the region, you'll enable our customers to gain maximum benefit from their partnership with Bloomberg by helping them gain a detailed understanding of how our products and services can solve real problems for their business.
