Bloomberg Enterprise Data

Bloomberg's Enterprise Data continues to be a market leader and the enterprise data provider of choice for the financial services industry. Our offering includes market leading data, analytics and data delivery via a fully managed platform. Our committed customer base appreciates the quality of our content, completeness of our coverage, data delivery, technology and high touch client service model.

Bloomberg Risk & Investment Data Analytics (RIA)

We continue to lead through innovation and a best-in-class product that services client demand for data driven solutions and analytics to some of the toughest questions and problems facing our client base today.

Currently the RIA business includes our award winning Liquidity Assessment Tool (LQA) that affords our clients the ability to manage market liquidity across multiple asset classes for a single security, or portfolio of securities, for a variety of reasons including regulatory reporting, risk management and pre and post-trade analysis. Our liquidity product offers a full trade lifecycle and workflow solution allowing clients to seamlessly embed our data driven outputs and liquidity metrics within their own enterprise workflow across multiple functions and areas.

Using the same data driven approach the team has gone beyond liquidity risk and now provides clients with an Early Alerts (EA) product that uses our rich data and machine learning expertise to help identify fixed income securities that have a high likelihood to move (higher or lower) over multiple time horizons. This has applicability across risk management, trading (execution) and portfolio management.

Through innovation and a deep understanding of our client workflow and their challenges around risk management, business support (middle and back office) and trading we intend expanding this offering with the intention to further drive and enhance our suite of client solutions to complex client problems.

The successful candidate is expected to manage a team of highly motivated professionals across the US and Europe. A high work ethic combined with the ability to define excellence and expectations while providing real time and period feedback on performance across product managers will be a key factor in determining success.

Working with our global sales organization to better understand our client challenges, identify and incubate new and innovative risk and investment products where the need for a data driven solution is core to the solution will be important.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with many stakeholders across multiple product, engineering, sales and quant groups is extremely important as well as the ability to articulate a clear and well defined business plan and strategy to management.
  • Articulate client and business requirements that lead to well defined product specifications and charters that drive delivery, reduce redundancy and friction and clearly define successful outcomes as we continue to expand the product offering.
  • Define key performance metrics around people and products to promote accountability and focus.

You’ll need to have:

  • 5+ years of management experience where defining product strategy, vision, outcomes and metrics for success as well as managing a team of highly motivated people and their career progression were a key part of the role.
