Bloomberg runs on data, and in the Data department we collect, analyze, process, and publish the data which is the backbone of our iconic Bloomberg Terminal and our Enterprise products - the facts and figures which ultimately move the financial markets. We apply problem-solving skills to identify innovative workflow efficiencies, and we implement technology solutions to improve our systems, products, and processes - and all this while providing platinum customer support to clients.
