Senior Data Management Professional - Cash Flow Modeler - Asset Backed Securities

Our Team:

The Global Securitized Products Data Team is responsible for researching and supporting a $12 trillion global securitized product market.  The securitized product market uses financial engineering to transform a variety of assets (residential and commercial mortgages, auto and equipment leases, managed corporate loan portfolios, credit card debt, and even music royalties) into securities that are structured to meet nearly any investor appetite.  Our team supports the full data lifecycle and analytical capabilities, through reverse financial engineering, of all securitized products globally for Bloomberg.

The Securitized Products ABS team is responsible for creating and maintaining a large library of cash flow models and data for Public and Private Asset Backed Securities including esoterics (Credit Card, Auto, SLABS, Solar). Our cash flow models are required, along with prepayment and credit assumptions, in order to price these securities accurately and support the expanding markets.
