Description & Requirements
At Bloomberg Enterprise Data, we are fast-paced, innovative, and expanding! Our deep expertise in finance and financial technology (FinTech) allows us to partner closely with clients, understanding their unique business and data needs.

Simply put, our award-winning data powers the capital markets.
Our Data Management Services team (DMS) is an expanding part of Bloomberg's Enterprise Data group. DMS helps Bloomberg data together in a standardized model for easier and more consistent delivery across an organization's consuming systems. The DMS product - Data License Plus (DL+) - is an add-on service for Bloomberg Data License that optimizes daily Bulk and Per Security file onboarding by combining the data into a centralized Unified Data Model (UDM) for controlled data collection and delivery across consuming systems.
