Business Area: Data


Ref #: 10046455


Description

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 optimize the value of our data by combining domain and technical expertise to make data fit-for-purpose, timely, and accurate. We apply our problem-solving skills to identify innovative workflow efficiencies and deliver a high level of customer service.


Our Team

The Entity Data team is responsible for the creation, enrichment, and support of core entity data, including legal entities, issuers, and corporate hierarchies, for over 7 million public and private companies. This data underpins foundational reference data, private markets, and risk management. The team partners closely with Engineering, Product, and other Data groups to ensure our data management processes, ingestion pipelines, quality controls, and delivery methods evolve with market needs.


What’s the Role?

As a Data Quality Manager, you will define and execute the quality strategy that ensures our datasets are reliable, consistent, and ready for critical client use cases. You will lead efforts to design and implement effective data management practices, establish quality metrics, and deliver transparent reporting. Your work will directly support the transformation of our data workflows, enabling scalability for private markets and beyond.


This role requires a mix of technical expertise, governance mindset, and stakeholder engagement skills. You’ll collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, and internal Centers of Excellence to ensure our datasets evolve in line with industry standards while also meeting client expectations for accuracy, coverage, and usability.


We’ll Trust You To:

  • Develop and deliver the data quality strategy for the Entities product, aligning it with client use cases and industry best practices.
  • Define, measure, and monitor data quality metrics that ensure transparency and accountability across workflows.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data teams to embed quality-by-design principles into ingestion, transformation, and delivery pipelines.
  • Perform data profiling, statistical analysis, and root cause investigations to validate approaches and recommend improvements.
  • Lead initiatives to modernize workflows—advocating for automation, AI/ML-enabled quality checks, and scalable infrastructure enhancements.
  • Promote data quality awareness and education across the organization, empowering colleagues to embed quality into their work.
  • Stay ahead of industry developments in reference data and private markets to shape our data strategy.

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.



  • 4+ years of professional experience in data quality management, reference data, or data governance.
  • Hands-on experience with data profiling/analysis tools such as Python, R, or SQL.
  • Familiarity with ETL processes, data pipelines, and workflow design.
  • Experience with data visualization tools (Tableau, QlikSense, Power BI, or similar) to communicate quality insights.
  • Proven ability to collaborate across teams and geographies, influencing both technical and business partners.
  • Comfort working in a dynamic, evolving environment, balancing long-term strategy with immediate operational needs.
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a solutions-oriented mindset.

We’d love to see:

  • Industry-recognized data management certifications (e.g., DAMA, CDMP, DCAM).
  • Experience with reference data, entity/issuer data, or private markets datasets, including integration of third-party providers.
  • Exposure to Agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban.
  • Hands-on knowledge of data governance and quality frameworks, including metadata management and regulatory considerations.
  • Familiarity with modern data infrastructure and architecture (APIs, pipelines, cloud platforms), with exposure to AI/ML or LLM-based enrichment solutions for anomaly detection and automation.
  • Exposure to Agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban.
  • Awareness of emerging trends in Private Markets data, including the complexities of non-public entities and their role in financial workflows.
  • Understanding of financial use cases that depend on accurate entity data, such as client onboarding, compliance/KYC, counterparty risk, and issuer classification.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
