- Work closely with a distributed team of reporters and valuation specialists to monitor news developments and securities filings to keep the Bloomberg Billionaires Index current
- Analyze regulatory filings, ownership structures and market data to support valuation methodologies
- Justify valuation estimates with colleagues, clients and representatives of billionaires
- Assist the broader team with enterprise stories and special projects when requested
You’ll need to have:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- 1-2 years of experience in valuation, finance, accounting, equity research, investment banking, financial journalism, or a related analytical field
- Advanced Excel skills and experience working with financial data
- An understanding of valuation methodologies and financial concepts
