Sell-side Risk Pre-sales Solution Architect, Enterprise Sales, Financial Solutions

Description & Requirements

Bloomberg Multi Asset Risk System (MARS) is designed to take advantage of Bloomberg's market leading data and pricing analytics within a complete risk framework. This range of MARS solutions includes Front Office Risk, Middle Office Market Risk, XVA, Collateral Management and Valuations.

Powered by Bloomberg’s world‑class pricing library, market data and mortgage cash flow engine, together with BVAL OTC, it enables front office, risk, middle office, collateral managers and other financial professionals to analyse their trading and investment portfolios, manage and mitigate their exposure and prepare for any market event. Each MARS solution can be used independently or in combination with the others to address diverse client needs in a robust, consistent manner. All solutions are natively integrated into Bloomberg's Order Management Solutions and can also be integrated with any other source, either by the client directly or by Bloomberg using our connectivity and integrations (Enterprise Technology) team.

The MARS solutions are now widely used by over 500 clients globally and are growing rapidly. Growth is driven by regulatory pressure on clients to meet new requirements, internal pressure to consolidate systems to reduce risks and costs, integrated OMS and risk capabilities for a complete sell‑side solution, and access to Bloomberg's market‑leading data and analytics as part of a comprehensive solution.
