Bloomberg runs on data. It's our business and our product. From the biggest banks to the most elite hedge funds, financial institutions need timely, accurate data to capture opportunities and evaluate risk in fast-moving markets. The Data & Analytics Product Delivery Management Office (PDMO) works closely with Engineering to build empowered, autonomous and multi-disciplinary teams delivering the right products, in the right way, as quickly and efficiently as possible.  

Data Services is responsible for core data and analytics services that provide a single point of entry for Bloomberg Terminal and Enterprise applications to retrieve any kind of data available in Bloomberg. Our services serve more than 300 billion requests per day which only keeps on growing year over year.  A great majority of Bloomberg engineering teams are either our clients or providers. They look to us to guide them to modern design. They link in our libraries and use our services. In other scenarios, we work with many groups across engineering to adopt our vision and new design patterns. We are looking for an enthusiastic problem solver and an experienced program manager to join us and help deliver these efforts!

As a Program Manager in the Data & Analytics PDMO you will join a dynamic team of Program Managers responsible for building cultures of collaboration and driving the execution of business critical and strategic initiatives.  In this capacity, you will be aligned with the Data Services Engineering organization and have the opportunity to establish structure and processes while building relationships.  You will collaborate with Product Managers, development teams, and business partners to drive initiatives that enable internal and external clients to use Bloomberg data through our Data Services.
