Description & Requirements

Bloomberg is a global leader in business and financial information, news and insight, and we use innovative technology to deliver trusted data and bring transparency to the financial markets. Our customers around the globe rely on us for the information and tools they need to make critical investment decisions and remain connected across all sides of the financial community. And, to ensure the best experience for our 26,000+ employees across more than 150 locations around the world, we provide the spaces and systems that allow our teams to work together with agility, productivity and collaboration, no matter where they are.

The Bloomberg Financial Solutions department is at the forefront of ensuring success for our customers and employees alike. Our team comprises several key pillars: sales, service, operations, culture and brand. As a department, we are united by a common goal: We create meaningful relationships with clients by understanding their needs and delivering exceptional end-to-end support from sales and implementation, through their ongoing relationship with Bloomberg.

Our Team
We're Bloomberg. We sit at the heart of the financial markets, from the largest sell-side institutions right through to the two person hedge fund - we're an integral part of the financial markets workflow in every corner of the world. We provide our users with up to the millisecond market moves and analytics as well as connecting them with their counterparts and the wider community of 350,000 Bloomberg Terminal subscribers.

Our Sales teams are industry renowned for their subject matter expertise and platinum service levels. You'll have industry renowned training, not just when you join us, but continually throughout your career here. Just like we invest in our products, we invest in our people. It gives us the edge.

Bloomberg Enterprise Data - fast-paced, innovative, and expanding. We work closely with our clients to understand their unique businesses and their evolving data and technology needs. With an extensive range of datasets covering all asset types, multiple delivery technologies, and flexible scheduling options, our clients can access exactly the data they need, when they need it, and in the format they prefer. Quite simply, without us, they can't operate.

What's the Role?
We are looking for a Sales Specialist to join our team, responsible for driving revenue across Bloomberg's Enterprise Data product suite, with a specific focus on Quantitative Research and Data Science workflows.
Quantitative investing is undergoing a rapid transformation. Once the domain of the most sophisticated hedge funds, data science and quant techniques are now being adopted at scale by major asset managers and traditional firms across both the buy side and sell side. This new wave of innovation - powered by greater data availability, increased computing capacity, and advanced techniques - is reshaping the investment landscape and introducing fresh challenges and opportunities.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work with a dynamic, collaborative team, positioning Bloomberg's market-leading content and technology at the heart of modern research and quant strategies. You'll be at the intersection of financial innovation and data-driven investing.

We'll Trust You To:

  • Link market trends and client workflows to clearly articulate the value of Bloomberg's Enterprise and Research data products
  • Serve as a consultative partner to quantitative researchers, data scientists, and portfolio managers, helping them discover and integrate Bloomberg data into alpha-generating workflows
  • Partner with internal product and engineering teams to represent client feedback and influence product development
  • Lead sales and retention efforts for Bloomberg's Research and Data Science dataset offerings
  • Build and execute sales strategies in collaboration with enterprise sales, account management, and solutions teams
  • Validate client workflows and coordinate the appropriate technical and sales resources
  • Help educate internal colleagues on how to identify and engage Quant-related sales opportunities
  • Collaborate across business units to deliver value-added solutions tailored to client needs
  • Contribute innovative ideas that anticipate client challenges and drive strategic value
  • Maintain frequent client and prospect interaction through meetings, workshops, and on-site visits
  • Participate actively in cross-functional projects that support departmental and firm-wide initiatives
  • Seek out opportunities to mentor, contribute to training efforts, lead sales campaigns, or provide feedback for product enhancements


We'll Need You to Have:

  • A minimum of 5 years' experience in financial services, ideally within a data, technology, or commercial role
  • Proven consultative sales skills, including market research, lead generation, business development, and deal closing
  • The ability to communicate complex technical solutions clearly and persuasively to a variety of audiences
  • Strong presentation, communication, and training skills in English
  • A deep understanding of client business models and data needs across research, quant, and trading functions
  • A track record of managing and developing relationships at a senior level, including with CxO stakeholders
  • Demonstrable knowledge of quantitative finance, research workflows, and the data science ecosystem
  • Familiarity with alpha modeling, signal construction, portfolio analytics, and modern investment strategies
  • Exposure to modern programming languages (e.g. Python, R) and environments like Jupyter Notebooks
  • A solution-oriented mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment
  • A strong desire to learn, adapt, and continuously grow both commercially and technically
  • Based in London, with a willingness to travel as needed


We'd Love to See:

  • Passion for innovation and building the future of Enterprise Solutions at Bloomberg
  • Understanding of how machine learning and AI are being applied in financial markets
  • Experience working with Research data or Alternative data sets
  • Fluency in one or more European languages (especially French, Italian, or German)
  • Coming from the Client Side? Even Better.


If you've worked with Bloomberg data or tools as a quant, data scientist, or portfolio manager - we'd love to hear from you. Your insight into how this data is used in practice is exactly what we value in this role.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
