What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Data Management Professional - Automation Engineer - Classifications position at Bloomberg?
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 apply problem-solving skills to identify innovative workflow efficiencies, and we implement technology solutions to enhance our systems, products and processes.
Our Team
The Classifications team builds and maintains the taxonomies that group companies and securities by business activities and risk profiles. These classifications form the foundation for peer group analysis, benchmarking, and market trend evaluation.

We enable clients to:
- Assess how global, regional, or local industry trends affect portfolios
- Compare and report on sector exposures versus peers and benchmarks
- Identify investment opportunities across developed and emerging markets
- Analyze sector and industry contributions to portfolio performance
- Build consistently defined, sector-based investment and rotation strategies
