Once a client moves forward, we work directly with them - alongside Bloomberg Product and Engineering teams - to design and deliver an efficient, scalable and exceptional onboarding experience.\nThis is a role for someone who enjoys solving difficult problems, learning continuously and taking real ownership. You will be given the space to develop deep expertise, exercise judgement and increasingly operate with autonomy as your knowledge and experience grow.\nAbout the role\nYou will work at the intersection of financial markets, technology, risk analytics and client delivery. Your responsibilities will include:\nPartnering with Sales to analyse client workflows, gather requirements, identify gaps and design the most effective solution. This includes scoping workflows, presenting proposed solutions back to clients and translating requirements for Product and Engineering teams where development is required.\nDeveloping a strong understanding of Sell-side operating models and using that knowledge to act as a trusted adviser when designing and delivering best-practice workflows.\nProject managing complex implementations across our EMEA client base, aligning with Bloomberg implementation standards while tailoring our solutions to meet individual client requirements and demanding delivery timelines.\nOnboarding clients onto Bloomberg risk solutions, including bringing positions and associated data into Bloomberg, helping clients understand risk analytics and supporting the design and generation of risk reports.\nDefining implementation procedures for new products and continually refining existing processes, including identifying opportunities to use technologies such as AI to improve quality, efficiency and scalability.\nEnsuring clients are positioned to extract maximum value from Bloomberg products both immediately and over the longer term by designing solutions that are robust and scalable.\nWorking closely with Product and Engineering teams on implementation-related development to ensure delivery remains aligned with client commitments.\nIdentifying opportunities to expand the Bloomberg product franchise by understanding broader client workflows and recognising where additional Bloomberg solutions could add value.\nContributing to the continuous improvement of our implementation methodology, tools, documentation and knowledge base.\nThis is not a volume implementation role. It requires analytical depth, delivery judgement, technical fluency and the ability to build confidence with senior client stakeholders.\nWe’ll trust you to\nTake ownership of complex and strategically important client engagements, acting as the project owner and coordinating Bloomberg teams, client stakeholders and external vendors through to successful completion.\nBring structure to ambiguous problems, establish priorities and drive engagements forward without needing every answer in advance.\nCreate transparency and consistency through clear communication, strong project governance and high-quality engagement documentation.\nBuild credibility with clients by understanding both their business objectives and the technical and analytical detail behind the solution.\nStay current with market developments, evolving regulation and Bloomberg product capabilities, continually exploring how our solutions can address new and existing client needs.\nSupport Sales and Account Management with domain expertise during strategic client discussions, workshops, solution design sessions and proof-of-concepts.\nDevelop a strong understanding of the asset classes and markets supported by Bloomberg’s risk solutions.\nApply a solid understanding of financial modelling across cross-asset financial instruments, including fixed income, equities, OTC derivatives and more complex or exotic instruments.\nTrain clients on Bloomberg risk products, analytics and pricing capabilities across multiple asset classes.\nBuild a strong internal network across Product, Engineering, Sales, Account Management and other specialist teams, using the breadth of Bloomberg expertise to solve complex client problems.\nShare what you learn so that successful approaches can be scaled across the wider team.\nHow you are expected to operate\nThis role offers significant scope for ownership and autonomy. We are looking for someone who is curious, ambitious and motivated by developing genuine expertise.\nYou demonstrate high individual agency, strong analytical judgement and a desire to keep learning.\nYou take ownership of open-ended problems and move them forward rather than waiting for perfect information or detailed instruction.\nYou make reasoned decisions, test assumptions quickly and adjust your approach based on evidence, client feedback and delivery risk.\nYou are comfortable balancing client expectations, commercial context, technical constraints and internal capacity.\nYou actively invest in deepening your understanding of risk analytics, financial models, financial instruments, data structures, Bloomberg products and evolving Sell-side workflows.\nYou seek out unfamiliar problems as opportunities to learn rather than remaining within a narrowly defined area of expertise.\nYou reflect on both successful and difficult implementations and use those experiences to improve your judgement and approach.\nAs your expertise develops, you will be expected to take on increasing levels of autonomy, influence and responsibility.\nSuccess in this role is not simply about completing implementations. It is about developing the judgement and expertise to become a trusted adviser to our clients and an authoritative voice internally.\nYou’ll need to have\nExperience within risk, financial services, financial technology, consulting or enterprise software implementation, including experience managing projects or complex client engagements.\nExperience implementing or working with risk and portfolio analytics such as Value at Risk (VaR), Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM) and counterparty risk/XVA.\nA strong understanding of financial markets and a solid grounding in a range of asset classes. Experience with derivatives across multiple asset classes is essential.\nFamiliarity with instruments including fixed income, equities, mortgages, structured products, OTC derivatives and other complex financial instruments.\nProven experience gathering and analysing requirements, designing sophisticated workflows and translating business needs into practical solutions.\nExperience leading implementations, transformation programmes or strategic client engagements involving multiple internal and external stakeholders.\nThe ability to investigate differences between expected and observed analytics, identify root causes and communicate conclusions clearly.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical specialists, front-office users and senior business stakeholders.\nA track record of solving complex problems with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.\nThe ability to operate successfully in both independent and highly collaborative environments.\nComfort working with ambiguity, competing priorities and demanding client situations.\nExperience working with position and market data, data feeds, analytical outputs and technical integration workflows.\nWe’d love to see\nPrevious experience in Sales or Account Management within the Sell-side financial industry.\nA programming or technical background that enables you to contribute effectively to API and data integration projects.\nExperience with APIs, Python, SQL or other data querying and analysis tools.\nAdvanced Microsoft Excel, Python or AI skills, particularly where these have been used to improve analysis, automation or client delivery.\nA Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant discipline.\nProfessional qualifications such as CFA or FRM, or an MSc in Financial Engineering or a related subject.\nKnowledge of collateral management workflows and processes.\nEvidence of independently developing expertise in new products, markets, technologies or analytical disciplines.\nIf indicated, please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.Discover what makes Bloomberg unique - watch our podcast series for an inside look at our culture, values, and the people behind our success.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9075,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Data & Market Intelligence","Financial News & Media"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T14:15:21Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker;
