Our Team:

The Sanction team is responsible for providing entity level sanction data for ten global jurisdictions. This includes supervising jurisdictional websites for legal regulations, addendums, and postings. We frequently map explicitly listed entity program identifiers to unique Bloomberg IDs. Sanction data is used both on and off the Bloomberg terminal, so we work with Sales and conduct calls to provide clients background on how we acquire, validate, maintain and provide quality assurance for our data sets.

The Role:

This includes the sanctions for multiple jurisdictions and their implications on their corporate structure.

We'll Trust You To:

• Supervise and process jurisdictional sanction postings
• Perform sanction risk assessments
• Build, implement, and test internal sanction controls
• Train internal partners
• Research corporate structures and corporate actions documentation
• Respond to client queries regarding the data and product functionality
• Process escalation requests to resolve data discrepancies
• Assist Sales and Product managers on client calls
• Examine processes and providing improvement recommendations

You'll Need to Have:

• Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) entity sanctions experience
• HMT or EU entity sanctions experience
• Ability to multi-task and work independently as well as collaboratively within a team environment
• Excellent Communication, Analytical and Customer Service skills
