Bloomberg Global Data Summer Internship

Are you passionate about the financial markets? Are you hardworking, inquisitive, and innovative? If so, join us for a ten-week summer internship within Bloomberg's Global Data business.

Global Data focuses on specific market sectors, such as Equities, M&A, Earnings Estimates, Fixed Income, FX, Commodities, Mutual Funds and Derivatives, bringing transparency to the markets. You'll intern in a specific sector for the summer, working on real impact projects and tasks, but will receive training across all market sectors - developing Bloomberg product knowledge, learning about clients and their needs, and building relationships throughout the company. We will also provide training relevant to your role so you can develop your skill set over the course of the internship.

What's Global Data all about?

Global Data makes Bloomberg the most sought-after data source in the world. We collect, analyse, and present data that informs clients' decisions - and moves markets.

What we do in Global Data?

Global Data collaborates with Sales, News, and Research and Development, while staying in tune with our client needs, contributing to the development of the Data Management products and fuelling Bloomberg news stories with the data that we receive. Our Analysts:
· Maintain, improve and deliver accurate, high quality information for the Bloomberg Terminal
· Apply problem-solving skills to identify innovative work-flow efficiencies and implement technology solutions to enhance our processes and software
· Assist our world-renowned client support help desk with client inquiries
· Develop expertise in fast-moving market sector information
· Intake and distill raw data to convey actionable information that enables our clients to make better-informed decisions
· Liaise with technology teams to enhance relevant product databases

What else can you expect from your internship opportunity?

Your internship starts with an orientation that introduces you to our culture and the state-of-the-art Bloomberg Terminal. Then, over the summer, you'll collaborate on exciting impactful projects that contribute to the work of our full-time analysts. You'll also:
· Learn about different Global Data product areas, including the opportunity to shadow a full-time Analyst on the job
· You will work closely with your line manager who will provide you with insight into the Bloomberg culture and environment, and constructive ongoing feedback.
