Our Team:

Our Bloomberg On-Site Support (BOS) teams work with urgency to provide 24/7 on-site and technical solutions to Bloomberg’s internal and external customers in more than 75 countries. Our customers rely on our technology and the support that we provide to be able to do their jobs in a dynamic, highly-demanding, technology-focused environment.

As an on-site specialist, you will get the best of both worlds as you get the exposure to resolve issues in a hands-on environment but also utilize that base knowledge and translate that into a soft skill manner when troubleshooting with users.

You pride yourself in offering top-notch customer solution focused service by being able to understand and pre-empt needs as well as deliver personal, on-the-ground value and assistance spotting gaps and implementing proactive and reactive changes.

  • Have the ability to multitask in a fast paced environment with strong attention to detail
  • Be organized and manage incoming workflows
  • Challenge yourself with investigation skills - be curious and ask questions to determine the nature of a problem

You must have:

  • Proven excellence in customer service, communication and customer-facing, problem solving skills
  • A valid driving license, own vehicle with full insurance
  • Experience in troubleshooting Windows/Mac, software, hardware (flat panels, PCs, routers, docking stations, and cable management) and general networking technology (Networking hardware, TCP/IP, LAN and WAN, router commands)
  • Flexible coverage schedule to accommodate occasional evening, weekend work (time off in lieu)
  • Experience with mobile devices - Android/iOS
