Full Job Description
Description & Requirements

Indices sit at the center of the financial system: shaping how markets are understood, portfolios are constructed, and capital is allocated. They connect asset managers, banks, and data consumers through a shared language of benchmarks and baskets of securities. Bloomberg is the source of truth for index data and workflows, combining global market coverage with deeply connected datasets to enable consistent, comparable views across providers, asset classes, and investible products. Our team is building the next generation of capabilities to unify and scale index-driven workflows across the Terminal, Enterprise, and AI-powered experiences.

The role:

We are looking for a product leader to shape how indices are used across Bloomberg's ecosystem, spanning the buy-side, sell-side, and enterprise clients. You will play a key role in pioneering the future of index workflows through AI-driven experiences like AskB.

You will operate at the intersection of data, analytics, and client workflows, partnering closely with engineering, data, and sales to define strategy, drive execution, and deliver meaningful outcomes. This role requires someone who can think holistically about complex systems, bring structure to ambiguity, and translate client needs into scalable solutions across indices, baskets, and related datasets. You should be equally comfortable diving into technical detail, framing trade-offs, and engaging directly with clients.

We'll trust you to:

  • Define and drive the strategy for Bloomberg's index capabilities across data, analytics, and workflows, aligned with priorities such as AskB and Enterprise integration
  • Own the evolution of index data models, metadata, and APIs to enable consistent and scalable use and improved discoverability of index content
  • Build a deep understanding of client workflows and translate evolving needs into clear product direction
  • Lead the development of unified experiences across indices, custom baskets, and related datasets
  • Partner with Engineering, Data, and Product teams to deliver scalable solutions aligned with infrastructure and migration initiatives
  • Define product requirements, prioritize effectively, and measure impact through adoption and business outcomes


You'll need to have:

  • 7+ years of product management or equivalent experience in financial data, analytics platforms, or complex workflows
  • Solid understanding of index data, benchmarks, or related investment workflows (e.g., portfolio construction, trading, or market analysis)
  • Experience working with data systems, including data modeling, APIs, or analytics platforms
  • Ability to operate across technical and business domains, working effectively with engineering, data, and sales teams
  • Proven ability to define product strategy and execute in ambiguous, cross-functional environments
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas simply
  • Technical fluency and a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset


We'd love to see:

  • Experience with index construction, custom baskets, or benchmark-driven workflows
  • Familiarity with entitlement systems, data distribution, or enterprise delivery
  • Exposure to AI-driven products, APIs, or tools like AskB
  • Experience working across asset classes or building cross-product workflows
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to structure complex problems
  • Familiarity with Bloomberg Terminal or similar platforms


Salary Range = 140000 - 295000 USD Annually + Benefits + Bonus

The referenced salary range is based on the Company's good faith belief at the time of posting. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, market conditions, education/training and skill level.

We offer one of the most comprehensive and generous benefits plans available and offer a range of total rewards that may include merit increases, incentive compensation (exempt roles only), paid holidays, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability benefits, 401(k) +match, life insurance, and various wellness programs, among others. The Company does not provide benefits directly to contingent workers/contractors and interns.
