Bloomberg is the industry standard for financial data. It's our business and our product. From the biggest banks to the most elite hedge funds, financial institutions need timely, accurate data to capture opportunities and evaluate risk in fast-moving markets. The Product Delivery Management Office (PDMO) works closely with engineering, product and data groups to build empowered, autonomous and multi-disciplinary teams delivering the right product, in the right way, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

As an Agile Program Manager in the PDMO you will join a dynamic team responsible for building cultures of collaboration and driving the execution of business critical and strategic initiatives. In this capacity, you will be aligned to an engineering organization and have the opportunity to guide leaders and teams, establish structure and processes while building relationships.
