Description & Requirements

At Bloomberg, our products are fueled by powerful information. We combine data and context to paint the whole picture for our clients, around the clock – from around the world. In Data, we’re responsible for delivering this data, news and analytics through innovative technology - quickly and accurately.

Our Team:

Sovereign debt is the cornerstone of global finance and the largest and most liquid asset class in fixed income. We work closely with treasuries and central banks around the world to onboard their debt securities on the Bloomberg terminal in a timely manner, ensuring excellent data quality. Information about the issuance of bonds by governments is time-sensitive and often market-moving, and something a lot of our clients track carefully. By using technology, domain expertise, and relationships with issuers we aim to be the best data and analytics platform in the market.

What's the Role?

As a Senior Data Analyst, you will be responsible for the acquisition, maintenance and quality assurance of sovereign debt data. This will entail supervising daily market events, close collaboration with the data engineers on the team to ensure automated processes work as expected, provide support to external clients with sophisticated data queries and engage with issuers on a regular basis in support of various projects. You will enhance your product knowledge, learn about our clients and their needs, and build relationships throughout the company, all while helping our clients stay on top of developments within the sovereign bonds' market. You will be responsible for managing priorities of different initiatives and for using industry knowledge to help drive decisions and generate new dataset offerings. You will need to know your customer, their challenges, and their workflows. With this insight, you will bring creative ideas to the table on how we can make our data integration seamless and more efficient.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Use your knowledge in fixed income and a curiosity about sovereign debt specifically to help increase the value of the data set

  • Collaborate with Sales to promote sovereign debt data using the relevant domain expertise, and use knowledge gained from client interactions to improve the dataset
  • Assist our world-renowned client support help desk with client inquiries related to sovereign debt
  • Collaborate with global counterparts to evolve the role, workflow, and operating procedures to ensure consistency in data quality and timeliness across regions

You’ll need to have:

  • 4+ years of experience working with financial data, preferably within the Fixed income asset class
  • Fluency in both spoken and written English and Japanese
  • Proven data management experience such as running data quality initiatives, coordinating data governance, implementing standard processes with regards to data acquisition and updates
