Product Manager – Private Funds
Location: London
Business Area: Product
Ref # 10051306
Description & Requirements
Asset owners, private equity and private credit investors, banks, and other market participants increasingly need trusted, connected, and discoverable private markets data to support sourcing, due diligence, portfolio monitoring, valuation, and total portfolio analysis. Yet today, this information is often fragmented across providers, workflows, and internal tools.
Bloomberg’s private markets strategy is increasingly focused on building a foundational data layer that can power these workflows across the Terminal, Enterprise products, and portfolio and risk solutions. This includes strengthening Bloomberg’s coverage of private funds and the underlying companies and assets they own, improving the taxonomy and discoverability of private markets data, and enabling users to connect fund, company, transaction, valuation, and performance information in a scalable and permission‑aware way.
We are seeking a Private Funds Product Manager to lead this initiative. You will define and execute the product strategy for Bloomberg’s private funds and foundational private markets data capabilities, with an initial focus on private equity and private credit. You will help shape the core data model, sourcing strategy, and product roadmap that support Bloomberg’s long‑term ambition to become a leading provider of private markets data and workflow solutions.
You will partner closely with Engineering, Data, Enterprise Product, Buy‑Side Solutions, and Data Operations teams to deliver a modular, scalable data foundation that improves data quality, normalization, interoperability, and client value across Bloomberg products.

- Build and maintain a clear roadmap with phased MVPs that balance client impact, strategic fit, time to market, and technical complexity
- Ensure foundational data is usable across Bloomberg workflows, including research, portfolio monitoring, valuation, and risk analytics
- Collaborate across Product, Engineering, Data, Sales, and Operations to deliver solutions that support both existing Bloomberg clients and new private markets users
- Define and monitor success metrics tied to data coverage, freshness, linkage quality, discoverability, adoption, and business impact
