**Description & Requirements**
Bloomberg is a global leader in business and financial information, delivering trusted data to clients worldwide to bring transparency, efficiency and fairness to markets. We deliver billions of data points to our customers covering all aspects of financial domains every day. The Core Financial Data (CFD) department acts as an integral role within Bloomberg to take the ownership of various domains including entities, company fundamentals, alternative datasets, global benchmarks and macroeconomic indicators. We design and build the systems that power financial and economic data for clients, investors, and institutions worldwide to make prudent investment decisions.
The CFD department is made up of 5 teams:
The **Entities & Equities and Company Financials** teams provide the backbone of structured corporate data, ensuring accurate financials, consistent identifiers, and clear linkages across companies, securities, and markets.
The **Alternative Data & Sustainable Finance Solutions** team builds on this foundation by sourcing high-value alternative datasets that generate insights and predictive analytics on individual company performance. They also develop derived analytics that assess a company's performance on key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators, both over time and relative to peers.
The **Managed Investments & Benchmarks** team curates comprehensive data on funds, benchmark indices, and ownership structures. This data underpins portfolio construction, benchmarking, and performance attribution, enabling investors and asset managers to measure outcomes, compare strategies and make informed investment decisions.
The **Macro Data & BNEF** team delivers critical insights into global economic trends and the energy transition. Their work includes timely economic indicators, market signals, and forward-looking analysis that help clients understand macroeconomic dynamics and the evolving landscape of sustainable energy.
