About the Role

You will lead and scale Bloomberg PORT Enterprise implementations for sophisticated buy-side clients across EMEA, with a particular focus on portfolio analytics, performance attribution and ex-ante risk.

This is a senior client‑facing implementation role at the intersection of investment workflows, analytics configuration, data integration, programme delivery and adoption. Your work determines whether PORT becomes a trusted production system embedded in live investment decision‑making.

You will work directly with portfolio managers, risk teams, performance and attribution specialists, operations, data teams and technology stakeholders to design, configure and deliver solutions that align with each client’s investment process and operating model.

This is not a volume implementation role. It requires analytical depth, delivery judgement, technical fluency and the ability to build confidence with senior client stakeholders.

Why This Role Matters

PORT sits at the centre of how institutional investors construct portfolios, measure performance, understand risk and make allocation decisions.

Implementation quality directly affects client confidence in analytics used for portfolio construction, capital allocation, risk oversight, performance review and reporting. Strong execution leads to durable adoption and trusted workflows. Weak execution leads to workarounds, misinterpretation and reduced client confidence.

This role owns that outcome.

You will not simply configure functionality. You will help clients translate investment requirements, data structures and workflow objectives into a robust operating model supported by Bloomberg’s Performance and Risk capabilities.
