Bloomberg Market Specialists provide practical guidance and industry expertise across markets to help clients maximize the value of their investments in our solutions and serve as their voice back to Bloomberg.

For Bloomberg clients globally positioning for a competitive edge across diverse markets and industry change, Bloomberg Market Specialists provide a practical and impartial view of the best practices, tools and workflows needed to take on intricate situations.

Armed with our partnership and expertise, clients can maximize the business value from their investment in Bloomberg solutions.

The Bloomberg Market Specialist team backs this up through being:

• Asset Class or Workflow-Focused

Comprised of former traders, portfolio managers, sales representatives, analysts, and more, the team also plays a vital role in improving the knowledge of our sales force and are a dedicated source of client feedback for our product development teams.

We'll trust you to:

• Apply your strong market experience, detailed knowledge of industry trends, specific workflows and demonstrated technical skills to assist in generating revenue across our current or future products - Act in an advisory capacity to our clients concerning the challenges that they face, and how they can use our products and technology to address them
• Build upon an in-depth understanding of the competitor landscape and how this affects both internal and external customers
• Influence the direction of Bloomberg products through thought leadership, contribution on innovative ideas, and establishing relationships between Bloomberg's decision-makers and our clients
• Establish your own roadmap of initiatives that align with product, sales, and goals of the company. Maintain check-in points, and self-report successes and challenges on these strategies
• Participate actively in new projects that drive departmental and firm-wide initiatives and goals
• Seek out additional ways to make an impact, such as mentoring, involvement in training, running campaigns, and active involvement in product enhancement

You'll need to have:

• Extensive experience in Private Markets – specifically across deal-related workflows in Private Equity or Venture Capital or external parties facilitating private market deals
• A sound understanding of the private markets deal lifecycle: workflows, critical data points, qualitative inputs and the role and needs of various player types
• Experience in Private Equity or Venture Capital deal making, either at a GP, LP or related service provider, would be beneficial
• Practical experience using the Bloomberg Terminal, or similar product and workflow tools, across public and/or private markets
• The business insight required to use your knowledge & experience to make good judgement and quick decisions, to tangibly impact the commercial success of our business
• The ability to convey complex ideas and solutions in a simple and concise way to audiences both large and small
• A willingness to travel across EMEA as the need arises to provide clients with a premier service
• Outstanding presentation, training and communication skills

What’s it like to work here?

We work hard. We are ambitious and set ourselves tough business goals. We are a meritocracy where everyone has a voice - not a job title! Working with people you trust, respect, and can collaborate with is more meaningful than titles or position. Things adapt quickly, and we want people who will enjoy working in this environment and feed off the energy. But it isn’t all about work. Giving back is one of our core values, and there are many ways to get involved in philanthropic initiatives from helping local school kids with their reading to helping clean up local parks and waterways.
