Bloomberg Execution Management System (EMS) is used by trading desks to manage their daily trading activities in Fixed Income, Equities, FX, Derivatives and Futures. Our EMS presents traders with the tools to view orders staged from an OMS, monitor live market data, run analytics, route orders to the market, receive fill information and initiate post-trade services to facilitate straight-through-processing. Coupled with pre-trade decision-making tools, TCA, alerting, integrated compliance rules and post trade services, Bloomberg EMS provides traders with a powerful end-to-end solution.

What’s the role?

As a member of the Bloomberg EMS product management team, you'll be responsible for helping to execute against and craft the product strategy, with a specific focus in FX and Equities. The delivery of product improvements must drive new adoption of our systems to new and existing users in order to position our products as the central trading hub. The business looks at critical workflows, which include the staging of orders into our EMS, the provision of information discovery to a trader to improve their trading experience, the enrichment of execution styles/workflows available to the trader and the processing of transactions once a trade is complete.
You will be responsible for setting the short and long term strategy in normalizing all front and back end services to accommodate FX and Equities into common EMS services to not only standardize and streamline trader experience but also increase engineering efficiency and scalability of services. You will work closely with engineering and many other business teams to integrate analytical tools, connectivity, trade automation, etc. into the EMS.
You will be encouraged to come up with ideas from inception, project manage the product build and deployment, serve as a trainer-of-trainers and generate resources that others can use to effectively deploy/sell/upsell our EMS product. In your interactions with engineering, you will motivate staff to improve productivity/pride-in-product and contribute to a climate of esprit de corps.
