• Lead Bloomberg usage analysis including terminals, DL Plus usage, data feeds, user populations, business needs, consumption patterns, and overlapping services
• Assess current Bloomberg request patterns and design a scalable process to rationalize demand from multiple business and technology stakeholders
• Analyze where Bloomberg products are duplicative, underused, misaligned, or potentially replaceable through better use of existing products or shared services
• Support cost optimization by identifying terminal/license rationalization opportunities, redundant feeds, unnecessary data subscriptions, and alternative delivery models
• Work with internal stakeholders and Bloomberg as needed to understand product capabilities, usage tooling, entitlement structures, and reporting options
• Partner with market data/vendor-management stakeholders to support contract renewal preparation, usage evidence, audit readiness, and cost-management discussions
• Develop governance policies and operating procedures for Bloomberg request intake, access approval, data usage, entitlement review, cost attribution, and ongoing monitoring
• Create dashboards, usage reports, KPIs, and executive summaries that show Bloomberg consumption, cost drivers, optimization opportunities, and progress against savings goals
• Partner with tactical market data/data analysts to collect known use cases, datasets, pricing/curve/security data needs, and current stakeholder pain points
• Present findings and recommendations in a clear, business-friendly way to senior stakeholders

Requirements:

• 7+ years of market data management, Bloomberg administration, Bloomberg data strategy, vendor data governance, or market data cost optimization experience within financial services, investment management, asset management, wealth management, or capital markets
• Deep Bloomberg expertise, including Bloomberg products, terminals, enterprise data delivery, licensing models, user access, data entitlements, usage reporting, and cost drivers

• Experience designing market data intake, approval, governance, usage monitoring, and cost-allocation processes
• Ability to work across siloed investment, data, technology, compliance, finance, legal, and vendor-management teams

• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to turn complex usage/cost findings into simple recommendations and business cases
• Experience with additional market data vendors such as FactSet, Refinitiv/Reuters, MSCI, ICE, S&P, Morningstar, or index/alternative-data providers. These are helpful but secondary to Bloomberg depth
• Experience with market data inventory, entitlement, or cost-management tools such as DACS, FITS, TRG Screen, MDSL, or similar
