Within the Bloomberg Financial Solutions vertical, Bloomberg Index Solutions Limited (BISL) offers a diverse range of fixed income, commodity, currency and equity indices. With extensive asset coverage, a strong history of innovation, and objective and transparent rules, Bloomberg indices are widely used as a source for portfolio construction and performance comparison. We offer an array of services to clients interested in custom index development, investable index products designed to offer access to systematic strategies, index administration and calculation agent services. Bloomberg indices are driven by the same trusted reference data, pricing and analytical calculations that are leveraged throughout the investment process.

You will build relationships with key decision makers and influencers across the asset owner ecosystem and lead consultative conversations to understand their investment, benchmark, portfolio construction and sustainability objectives. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you will support clients throughout the sales process and progressively take ownership of client relationships and commercial opportunities.
