What’s the role?
We are seeking an Index Sales Specialist to grow Bloomberg’s index franchise across Financial Institutions in Europe. You will work with sell-side firms, exchanges, brokers, dealers, insurers, and other institutions that create, distribute, or use index-linked products.
We welcome candidates from index sales as well as sales, structuring, product, or business development roles within banks, brokers, dealers, or exchanges. Relevant experience may include structured products, quantitative investment solutions (QIS), derivatives, or other rules-based products. Prior direct index sales experience is valuable but is not essential.
You will build senior client relationships, identify commercial opportunities, and manage engagements from initial discovery through solution development, negotiation, and close. You will also bring client and market insight into Bloomberg’s product strategy and positioning.
We’ll Trust You To
- Drive New Business: Identify, qualify, and convert opportunities to expand Bloomberg Indices’ footprint across Financial Institutions in Europe.
- Develop the Financial Institutions Franchise: Build a strong pipeline across sell-side firms, exchanges, brokers, dealers, and other relevant financial institutions, with a focus on scalable and repeatable commercial opportunities.
- Build Strategic Client Relationships: Develop trusted relationships with existing clients and prospects, engaging senior decision makers across Financial Institutions.
- Lead Consultative Sales Conversations: Understand how clients create, distribute, and use index-linked products, and connect those needs to Bloomberg’s standard, custom, and systematic index capabilities.
- Own the Commercial Lifecycle: Manage opportunities from initial engagement and presentations through pricing, negotiation, and deal closure.
- Bring Market Insight to Product: Translate client feedback, market trends, and competitive intelligence into actionable input for Bloomberg’s Product teams.
- Collaborate Across Bloomberg: Partner closely with Product Management, Client Service, Marketing, Legal, and broader Sales teams to deliver coordinated solutions and an excellent client experience.
- Represent Bloomberg Indices in the Market: Engage clients across Europe through meetings, industry events, and strategic outreach, helping strengthen Bloomberg’s position in the index ecosystem.

- Commercial Mindset: Proven ability to identify opportunities, understand client needs, and build lasting relationships.
- Self-Motivated and Proactive: You take initiative, are intellectually curious, and follow through with ownership.
- Strong Communication Skills: You can explain ideas clearly, engage clients confidently, and adapt to different audiences.
- Teamwork: You collaborate effectively across teams and functions.
- European Client Coverage: Willingness to travel and engage with clients across Europe.
