Product Manager – Sustainable Indices

Bloomberg is a leading provider of financial benchmarks and custom index services. Bloomberg indices are used globally as the basis for investment products and for benchmarking portfolio performance. Through the Bloomberg Terminal and Bloomberg Media, the global investment community engages with Bloomberg Indices.

What’s the role?

As a Product Manager within the Sustainable Index Product team, you will be responsible for the development and enhancement of Bloomberg’s ESG, Climate, and Sustainable index offerings. You will focus on sustainable methodology design, ESG data integration, and bringing innovative benchmark solutions to market.

This is a hands‑on individual contributor role, partnering closely with Governance, Risk, Research, and Commercial teams to deliver high-quality, investable, and scalable sustainable benchmarks.

We’ll trust you to:

• Lead the research, design, and evolution of climate, ESG, and sustainable index methodologies
• Translate emerging sustainability themes (net zero alignment, transition strategies, biodiversity, impact, etc.) into practical and investable index frameworks
• Evaluate ESG and climate datasets (internal and third-party), assessing methodology implications and data risks
• Draft and maintain methodology documentation and consultation materials
• Support governance processes, including methodology reviews and index event determinations
• Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Index Governance to ensure alignment with benchmark standards and regulatory requirements
• Work with Sales and Marketing to articulate methodology design and sustainability positioning to asset managers and ETF issuers
• Monitor market trends, regulation, and competitor benchmarks to inform product strategy

You’ll need to have:

• 7+ years of experience in indices, sustainable investing, ESG research, or systematic investment strategies
• Deep understanding of climate and ESG benchmark construction, including Paris‑aligned and transition frameworks
• Strong knowledge of index construction methodologies across equities and/or fixed income
• Practical experience working with ESG and climate data providers
• Strong analytical and quantitative capabilities
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with experience engaging institutional clients

We’d love to see:

• Familiarity with EU Climate Benchmark standards (PAB/CTB), SFDR concepts, or TCFD‑aligned frameworks
• Working knowledge of UK/EU Benchmark Regulation and IOSCO principles (but not necessarily as a control owner)
• Experience using Python, R, or similar analytical tools
• Strong familiarity with the Bloomberg Terminal

If indicated, please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
