Our Team:
Bloomberg Marketing partners with forward-looking business leaders to seize opportunities and create impactful, innovative solutions! We deliver integrated multi-disciplinary programs that gain attention and drive reactions. We use our wealth of data on the markets and our target audiences to inform decisions linked to measurable results.

The Global Events Team is part of Marketing and looks at the strategy, planning and management of events for our clients, prospects, influencers and employees. We partner across Marketing and with our internal colleagues globally to build events that provide our attendees with an enriched and integrated Bloomberg experience. The power of our data enables us to target the right audience at the right time to achieve the strongest outcomes!

The Opportunity:
Working across dozens of business groups, the Global Events Team implements 2,500+ events per year, and we handle a substantial amount of data related to each event. To enhance the accuracy and improve the management of this data, Bloomberg is looking for a workflow specialist with a background in data analytics and business intelligence to lead the data collection and workflow consistency across our events portfolio.

1) Data collection, management and analysis
In this role, you will be using existing technologies and systems to create reports from event data. Additionally, you will be tasked with reviewing the technology and systems used to collect and manage event data, ensuring the accuracy and overall integrity of the various data points. The Workflow Specialist will use the event data collected to provide strategic recommendations to proactively implement workflow and systems enhancements to ensure data is maximised as effectively as possible across the organization. This role will work closely with various teams within Marketing (Operations, Events, Marketing Management, Studio) as well as multi-functional teams (Engineering, Business Intelligence, Workplace Operations, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Corporate Philanthropy) to ensure our data tells the full, accurate story.

Additionally, you will work on the execution of integration, system and regression testing across the Bloomberg's event technology stack, including integrations specific to the Bloomberg Terminal. You will implement a monthly review process that uses our event data to show that the data is accurate and collected as expected.

• Align with the Event Systems Product team to ensure that feature developments align with data collection requirements, account for the necessary warehouse integrations and provide testing ahead of release

What's it like to work here?
We work hard. We are ambitious and set ourselves tough business goals. We are a meritocracy where everyone has a voice - not a job title. Working with people you trust, respect, and can collaborate with is more important than titles or position. Things move fast, and we want people who will enjoy working in this environment and feed off the energy. But it isn't all about work. Giving back is one of our core values, and there are many ways to get involved in philanthropic initiatives from helping local school kids with their reading to helping clean up local parks and waterways.
