Bloomberg Media's overall strategy is to be the leading, next-generation media company for global business by creating a portfolio of digitally led, multi-platform brands that broaden Bloomberg's core audience beyond its traditional finance roots, towards global business. Bloomberg Digital (Bloomberg.com, Bloomberg News App) is at the centerpiece of that strategy - providing factual, credible, authoritative, lightning-fast journalism for a global business audience.

In May 2018, we launched a paywall on both Bloomberg.com and the app and are quickly working to build a growing paid subscriber base. A key focus area for 2020 is to continue our incredible growth in acquiring and retaining subscribers. The consumer subscription business is looking for a Growth Partnership Manager who will be primarily focused on growing our consumer subscription business.

We collaborate with many teams as part of the day-to-day execution of our initiatives, including Product, Editorial, Marketing, Media Distribution, Finance, Legal, Sales, and Engineering. We expect that a big focus of this role will be managing bridges across these internal partners.

  • Develop business plans and go-to-market strategy for potential new areas of business for the digital group
  • Identify new strategic opportunities and negotiate and close the associated deals
  • Establish strong cross-functional relationships with internal stakeholders, including Product, Editorial, Business Development (outside of subscription) and Sales
  • Track and communicate key industry trends, analysis and actionable insights to assess the most impactful opportunities for the digital group

You'll need to have:

  • Prior experience in business development, corporate strategy, investment banking or consulting, preferably with a media/technology focus
  • Ability to build financial models to evaluate business opportunities and deals
  • Experience with market analysis, industry research, and presentation of new ideas
  • Excellent written and communication skills, including poise and professionalism while interacting with internal and external senior-level executives
