Description

The Market Specialist team serves as the financial markets & workflow experts at Bloomberg.

On any given day as a Market Specialist, you will be collaborating with senior decision makers at client accounts, helping to close new sale opportunities, and providing critical feedback to help shape the development of our product.

By championing the Bloomberg Professional Service at market events and through printed material, you become the face of our company

Comprised of former traders, portfolio managers, sales representatives, analysts, and more, our team of market specialists serve as the de facto market and asset class authorities.

Our team not only heightens our user base's experience and impacts sales revenue, it plays a vital role in improving the knowledge of our sales force and is a dedicated source of client feedback for our product development teams.

The team is also able to highlight their market expertise through writing for a variety of publications.

We will trust you to:

Act in an advisory capacity to our clients concerning the challenges that they face, and how they can use our products and technology to address them
Develop an in depth understanding of the competitor landscape and how this affects both internal and external customers
Influence the direction of Bloomberg products through thought leadership, contribution on innovative ideas, and establishing relationships between Bloomberg's decisions makers and our clients
Establish your own roadmap of initiatives that align with product, sales, and goals of the company. Maintain checkin points, and selfreport successes and challenges on these strategies
Participate actively in new projects that drive departmental and firmwide initiatives and goals
Seek out additional ways to make an impact, such as mentoring, involvement in training, running campaigns, and active involvement in product enhancement

The business insight required to use your knowledge & experience to make good judgement and quick decisions so as to tangibly impact the commercial success of our business
Ability and willingness to collaborate with groups across the Sales Department and Product Management, coordinate client needs and internal constraints to help prioritize potential enhancements in Bloomberg Commodities functions
The ability to convey complex ideas and solutions in a simple and concise way to audiences both large and small across a wide range of levels of understanding of commodity markets
A reciprocal and commercial mindset, along with ability to operate within both departmental and companywide initiatives, in a nonhierarchical structure without corporate titles
A willingness to travel across EMEA as required in order to provide clients with a premier service
Outstanding presentation, training and communication skills in English

We'd love to see:

An entrepreneurial & commercial mind set with the ability to identify and develop opportunities for other groups within the company and to build strong external networks
Evidence of innovative/creative approaches in developing new or existing business
Proven consultative sales skills, including competitor market research and business development
Experience working cross functionally with software development teams on product enhancements
