Description & Requirements What we do Bloomberg is the global leader in financial data, analytics, and technology. Our products power the workflows of financial professionals across research, trading, portfolio management, and risk.

At the centre of this is BQuant. BQuant reimagines the Bloomberg experience by putting code at its core - it brings together the cutting edge of our Data, API, and AI strategies to enable unprecedented customization and time-to-value for our code-aware users, and in a manner that is instantly available. These users can quickly analyze and combine Bloomberg’s extensive financial data and analytics with their own, to build models and workflows that span the entire investment lifecycle, and easily make these available to any other user at their firm.

Your Role As Product Lead for the Data User Experience, you will define and drive the vision, strategy, and execution of the core data and analytics experience within BQuant.
