Product Manager – Distributed Ledger Technology

Product Manager – Distributed Ledger Technology Overview

Bloomberg’s Global Financial Networks team is developing a new generation of institutional market infrastructure that uses distributed ledger technology to improve execution, clearing, and settlement processes. The work is centered on tokenized digital assets and aims to modernize highly fragmented market workflows that currently rely on a mix of feeds, files, APIs, and vendor-specific systems used by asset managers, broker/dealers, market utilities, and other participants. The broader goal is to connect established financial infrastructure with distributed ledger and digital asset ecosystems in a way that is practical, regulated, and suitable for institutional use.

This product area spans research and product development across permissioned networks, smart contracts, tokenized cash and stablecoins, tokenized assets and collateral, custody and wallet orchestration, and workflows involving multiple parties. The team is focused on helping clients synchronize processes, reduce reconciliation effort, support controlled data sharing, enable atomic transactions, and improve asset mobility.

What the role involves

The company is looking for a Product Manager focused on distributed ledger technology to help define and build its product strategy for execution, clearing, and settlement workflows. The position sits at the intersection of traditional capital markets and emerging digital asset infrastructure, and it requires someone who understands how institutional workflows operate today and can convert that understanding into product requirements for DLT-enabled solutions.

The role calls for someone who can work effectively in uncertain and evolving conditions, explain complex ideas in a straightforward way, and build trust with both technical and non-technical audiences. The successful candidate should be comfortable speaking with senior leaders, working with clients and partners, and helping Bloomberg decide where to lead, where to collaborate, and how to position itself within the changing digital asset landscape.

Key responsibilities

• Turn detailed information about market structure, technology, and operational workflows into clear product direction for institutional digital asset capabilities.
• Help shape Bloomberg’s strategy for DLT-based trading and post-trade workflows, including smart contract processes, wallet integration, node configuration, permissioning, and synchronization of state across multiple parties.
• Assess how existing Bloomberg network assets could be extended into distributed ledger-based workflows and supporting technologies.
• Work closely with engineering teams to translate DLT concepts into actionable requirements, technical designs, delivery plans, and roadmap outputs.
• Support decisions around ledger and node selection, development network testing, operational runbooks, performance and latency analysis, permissioning validation, and future options for broader network participation.
• Collaborate with legal, risk, compliance, and security teams to evaluate regulatory, operational, custody, data-sharing, licensing, and reputational implications.
• Build internal education materials such as presentations, product summaries, FAQs, and executive-ready documents that explain DLT in practical Bloomberg language.
• Represent Bloomberg’s DLT approach in internal and external discussions with confidence, clarity, and commercial judgment.
• Help prioritize potential use cases by balancing client demand, technical feasibility, regulatory readiness, commercial opportunity, and Bloomberg’s ability to compete successfully.
• Contribute to go-to-market planning, product positioning, sales support, and client messaging for new distributed ledger offerings.
• Maintain product documentation, workflow diagrams, implementation guides, partner notes, market research, and internal decision records.
• Work across teams with a strong sense of ownership, urgency, and humility.
• Bring awareness of interoperability frameworks, token standards, identity models, and digital asset classification approaches.

What Bloomberg is looking for

• At least five years of experience in product management or product development, with proven exposure to digital asset infrastructure.
• Experience in financial services is required, including work in enterprise trading environments, critical financial operations, or technology supporting transactional flows.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with both technical specialists and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly when translating technical material into clear explanations.
• Excellent organizational ability and comfort managing multiple parallel workstreams.
• Curiosity and a willingness to learn complex systems and industry standards.
• Strong interest in financial markets, distributed ledger technology, and market workflow design.
• Experience with project management, client support, and technical systems design would be beneficial.
• A proactive, problem-solving approach.
• Very strong attention to detail, especially when preparing documentation and workflow diagrams.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and presenting to senior stakeholders.
• Ability to engage credibly with clients and partners while helping shape product direction.
• Understanding of interoperability ledger frameworks, token standards, identity models, or digital asset taxonomies.
• The company notes that the stated years of experience are only a guide and that applications may still be considered from candidates who can demonstrate the necessary skills.

The role is based in London.
