What’s The Role
Bloomberg’s Legal & Compliance Department plays a critical role in supporting our businesses and operations around the world. We move quickly and thoughtfully to help address a variety of complex legal issues that arise across the Company’s various businesses. Our team is made up of talented and hardworking professionals who think creatively and work collaboratively in an open environment to deliver results, drive innovation, and solve difficult problems. We also recognize the value of diversity and inclusion in cultivating a supportive workplace and the importance of giving back to our communities as evidenced by our award-winning pro bono program.
Based in London, you will be an integral part of the Legal department, working closely with and supported by your Legal Negotiations colleagues and Legal Counsel. You will focus on managing the legal responses for Requests For Proposals (RFPs) from EMEA and APAC Sales Support. You will review our Company’s entire response to the bid to ensure it does not put the Company at legal risk, updating the RFP as needed. You will also negotiate Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and any included legal terms and conditions attached to the RFP, and respond to associated requests for various forms and licensing contracts associated with the RFPs. Negotiation of licensing agreements with Bloombergs customers across EMEA and APAC outside of an RFP context may be required depending on business needs. Our customers range from major financial institutions to government entities across a wide range of fin-tech products and services that are dynamic and often cutting-edge. Well rely on you to build internal partnerships with Sales Support in EMEA and APAC and balance both the needs and drive of Bloomberg Sales and our customers in a time-sensitive environment.
