Our team:

The Market Specialist team within Financial Solutions serves as Bloomberg’s market, industry and workflow experts. Comprised of former traders, portfolio managers, analysts, sales professionals and industry practitioners, the team combines deep market expertise with an understanding of client workflows and Bloomberg’s product, data and technology solutions.

This is a highly client-facing and commercially focused role, working closely with Sales, Product, Data and Research teams to identify market opportunities, deepen client engagement, drive product adoption and support revenue growth.

What’s the role?

We are looking for a Metals & Commodities Market Specialist with deep knowledge of metals markets and a broader understanding of the global commodities landscape.
