With 500+ research professionals, BI provides company, credit, industry and strategy research across major global markets, covering 135+ industries and 2,000+ companies, including perspectives on company fundamentals as well as government policy, litigation, corporate governance and sustainable finance.

BI combines analyst expertise with interactive data, proprietary models and emerging technologies, including AI, to deliver faster, deeper and more differentiated research. Our research and datasets are delivered through curated Terminal dashboards and interactive research decks, with underlying data typically one click away, drawing on proprietary Bloomberg sources and 600+ data contributors.

We're seeking an experienced Japanese Equity Strategist to join our Equity Strategy team. Within the BI Equity Strategy team, you will be part of a global research initiative aimed at positioning Bloomberg Intelligence at the forefront of equity investing and thought leadership.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of contributing to or leading a successful equity strategy franchise in a client-facing role, with an established institutional following familiar with their research.

Experience engaging with media and public speaking is highly valued.

What's in it for you:

We value diverse perspectives and an entrepreneurial mindset, recognizing that differentiated thinking drives the innovative analysis our clients depend on. As a member of the BI Equity Strategy team, you will take ownership of the Japanese equity research agenda, leading data aggregation and model development while generating creative, high-impact research products tailored to an institutional client base.

Coverage includes, but is not limited to, Japanese equity index valuation and earnings analysis, as well as sector and industry research spanning earnings, valuations, and investor sentiment.
• Design and build innovative models and analytical frameworks that enhance the Bloomberg Intelligence equity research franchise. Own the full lifecycle of model development, including idea generation, specification, training, validation, implementation, and the supporting research narrative.
• Produce timely, ad hoc research on compelling and topical developments in the Japanese equity market, delivering clear insights and differentiated perspectives
• Serve as a prominent external voice on the outlook for Japanese equities across Bloomberg’s media platforms, including regular appearances on Bloomberg TV and other Bloomberg media properties.
• Represent the team’s views to a broad institutional client base through travel, including presenting at client meetings, industry conferences, and keynote speaking engagements.
• Partner closely with Core Product and Bloomberg Index Services Limited (BISL) on Japanese equity data, terminal functionality, and the development of new Bloomberg-branded indices.

You'll need to have:

• At least 5 years of experience covering equity markets, preferably in a strategy or research-focused role
• Proficiency in econometric and statistical modeling techniques, with hands-on experience applying them to financial markets
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science or a related quantitative discipline
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex datasets and extract meaningful insights to inform investment conclusions
