  • Own each assigned complex and strategic engagement, acting as the primary day-to-day project management point person working across multiple internal groups and external vendors, driving tasks through to completion
  • Drive transparency and consistency through clear communication and production of engagement-specific documentation
  • Keep up to date with the latest market reforms and our latest product releases and continue to challenge yourself in finding out how our various offerings can resolve client needs
  • Have a strong understanding of all the asset classes that the various Bloomberg solutions can support and the markets that are in your region
  • Good understanding of financial modelling with regards to cross-asset financial instruments, including fixed income, equities, OTC and exotic derivatives
  • Training clients on use of the different risk products and Bloomberg pricers across different asset classes
  • Build a network internally to improve the knowledge resource at your disposal

You'll need to have:

  • Solid understanding in some or all Asset classes including cash bonds, mortgages and cash structure products. Derivatives experience is must across various Asset classes
  • Proven experience prioritising engagements, gathering requirements, and defining sophisticated workflows
  • Proven experience in both independent and collaborative working environments in a fast-moving business
  • Demonstrated history of solving complex problems with a keen eye for detail and a meticulous level of precision

We'd love to see:
  • Prior experience in Sales or Account Management in the Buy-Side or Sell-Side industry
  • Prior experience in portfolio analytics
