Bloomberg runs on data. Our products are fueled by powerful information. We combine data and context to paint the whole picture for our clients, around the clock - from around the world. In Data, we are responsible for delivering this data, news and analytics through innovative technology - quickly and accurately. We apply problem-solving skills to identify innovative workflow efficiencies, and we implement technology solutions to enhance our systems, products and processes.

Our Team:

The Equity Corporate Actions team supports the end-to-end lifecycle management of equity instruments, from private markets M&A, IPO & equity offerings, distribution of capital, corporate events, equity reference, identifiers, and pricing. Our team's success is derived from deep domain knowledge, multi-disciplinary collaboration, thoughtful technology utilization, and data management expertise. A strong combination of these skills within our team is critical for us to continuously deliver high quality data that's fit-for-purpose.

The role:

The Equity Corporate Actions Project Manager will oversee a diverse and high-impact portfolio of projects that span across our global Corporate Actions Data Product. You'll ensure consistent and efficient execution of strategic initiatives that drive improvements to data quality, workflow automation, client offerings, and operational scalability.

You will be responsible for structuring and maintaining the full lifecycle of projects-from prioritization and resource allocation through execution and delivery-ensuring that all initiatives are aligned with the team's strategic objectives and capacity. You will act as the central point of coordination across our global teams and leadership to guarantee visibility, accountability, and measurable progress. Your focus will be on embedding discipline in how projects are scoped, tracked, and measured; visualizing project milestones and performance metrics; identifying and mitigating risks; and ensuring the global team's capacity is optimized to deliver against our commitments.

We'll trust you to:

• Ensure project outcomes align with the broader Data strategy and client needs by translating strategic goals into actionable project plans and measurable deliverables.
• Lead, mentor and motivate project teams on a proactive basis
• Develop tools and standard processes for project management and execution
• Coordinate global capacity planning and resource allocation across projects to optimize execution and delivery timelines
• Visualize and communicate project progress, milestones, and outcomes to management and stakeholders through dashboards and reports
• Work with project sponsors and partners to complete project outlining, scope, goals, deliverables and resources.
• Produce metrics that measure business impact and success
• Identify project schedules to identify when each task will be performed, and assign and monitor resources to ensure project efficiency to improve project deliverables
• Report project outcomes and/or risks and remove blockers, as necessary, according to project work plan
• Effectively manage project scope by ensuring any changes to scope are documented and approved.
• Foster a culture of transparency, collaboration, and disciplined execution within a large, globally distributed team.

You'll need to have:

Please note we use years of experience as a guide, but we certainly will consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.

• 3+ years experience managing and maintaining a portfolio of projects, from development to execution
• Experience working with agile development practices and ability to facilitate agile ceremonies to support continuous improvement
• Ability to effectively prioritize and adjust priorities as necessary, through continual communication and evaluation of customer needs
• Success in cross team collaboration and stakeholder management across the organization from Product, Data, Engineering, Sales, and News
• Detail oriented and strong interpersonal and time management skills
• Creative and flexible approach to problem solving, aided by strong data analysis skills to effectively identify project risks and report against progress
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills

Describe the Data department, and how it fits into the Bloomberg organization.

The Data Department works with a ton of different data sets, and each data set has its own team processing, developing, and ensuring quality for our customers. What makes it really interesting is that data is the foundation of Bloomberg as a whole. Our data teams can do anything from processing the different tasks and sources that provide us data all the way to working with the engineers or the decision makers that are developing our products every day. Data has a lot of opportunities in order to develop different skills and it really hooks into every aspect of the Bloomberg organization.
