Data professionals - on both the buy and sell sides - are under mounting pressure to do more with less, even as demands to reduce operational risk and increase operational efficiency have never been greater. While firms acknowledge the need for enterprise-wide data consistency, ensuring its timeliness, quality, delivery, reliability and distribution remains a pervasive challenge.

Firms that commit to utilizing only highest-quality data can eliminate the data inconsistencies inherent to working with multiple vendors and lower their costs overall. A partnership with Bloomberg Enterprise Solutions allows just this, giving them strategic advantage.

You'll be responsible for sales of Reference Data, Real-Time data feeds and the Bloomberg Asset Valuation Service (BVAL) within your given client base.

You'll need to demonstrate credibility with a proven competency and knowledge of enterprise selling across buy side and sell side firms. You'll have a really deep understanding of the flow of data around a financial organization, which uses it and what for.

You'll be a good listener too, and be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in our clients.

• You'll build relationships across client organizations to ensure that all stakeholders are managed appropriately as part of the sales process

You'll need to demonstrate a depth of understanding in the following areas;

• Features, solutions, and benefits of Bloomberg solutions
• You'll also leverage this knowledge to build and maintain credibility with clients, identify gaps and recommend solutions; and deliver on revenue-generating and adoption/usage goals.
