Senior Interaction Designer - Bloomberg Connects
Bloomberg
Bloomberg Connects is a rapidly growing, free platform that helps museums, galleries, and cultural spaces make their institutions, stories, and dynamic content more engaging to audiences around the world. Launched in 2019, Connects features multimedia guides with unique content exclusive to each of our 1,000+ institutions across 33 countries.
As part of Bloomberg’s culture of giving back, Connects is a joint effort between Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies in support of their work to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people by focusing on five key areas: the arts, education, the environment, government innovation, and public health.
We believe that technology opens doors, and we created Connects as a part of our mission to make art and culture accessible to all—in-person, at-home, and anywhere.
We are a team of designers, researchers, marketers, editors, engineers, and leaders, all working together to help our partners reach audiences around the world and enhance the visitor experience. Grounded in empathy and informed by both qualitative and quantitative research, our products are shaped through continuous experimentation and iteration—with the goal of empowering and delighting those who use them.
