Posted Mar 14, 2022 - Requisition No. 101439

At Bloomberg, our products are fueled by powerful information. We combine data and context to paint the whole picture for our clients, around the clock – from around the world. In Data, we are responsible for delivering this data, news, and analytics through innovative technology - quickly and accurately.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data is crucial for our clients – providing deeper intelligence than conventional financial analysis. Climate change is changing the way market participants allocate capital. The ability for businesses and investors to understand their climate related impacts, risks, and transition pathways is crucial.
 
As a team, we are responsible for improving and reporting Environmental, Social, and Governance related data for the Bloomberg Terminal, plus reported-on and normalized metrics, key analytical ratios, industry-specific metrics, and proprietary scores. We display ESG and Fundamental data together, backed by news for context. More than 320,000 business leaders rely on the real time financial information available on the Bloomberg Professional Service, and your passion and expertise for sustainable investing will have tremendous impact on our growing product offering.
