Our Team:

Bloomberg’s Risk and Compliance Departments play a critical role in supporting our businesses and operations around the world. We move quickly and thoughtfully to help address a variety of complex issues that come with being the world’s leading financial news and information company. Our team is made of up of talented and hardworking professionals who think creatively and work collaboratively in an open environment to deliver results, drive innovation, and solve difficult problems. We also recognize the value of diversity and inclusion and the importance of giving back to our communities as evidenced by our award-winning pro bono program.

The Chief Risk Office and Global Compliance team provide coverage of Bloomberg's regulated entities and products, including support for Bloomberg's non-regulated products and services. We work to address regulatory and operational issues, ensure compliance with current/developing rules and regulations, and correspond with regulators. We are currently looking for an experienced person to work with our Risk and Compliance Shared Services team.

What’s the Role?

You will serve as a senior member of the Risk and Compliance Policy team, with dedicated focus on developing and overseeing the policy framework for technology-related risks — including information security, cybersecurity, data governance, technology operations, and third-party risk. You will work closely with the Global Head of Policy, engineering leadership, the CISO, and other subject matter experts to design a sustainable, risk-aligned policy structure. You will help ensure our policies and associated standards meet regulatory expectations, are practical for implementation, and align with Bloomberg’s broader risk and control strategy

We’ll Trust You To:

• Lead the development, drafting, and governance of risk and compliance policies that address technology, cybersecurity, information security, data privacy, and operational resilience.

• Serve as the second-line policy lead for engaging with Technology, Engineering, Information Security, and Compliance subject matter experts.

• Translate regulatory and internal control requirements into practical policies and supporting documentation (standards, guidelines, procedures).

• Design and implement a structured, well-documented policy framework tailored to technology risk areas, aligned to industry standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, DORA, GDPR).

• Collaborate with compliance, risk, and legal colleagues to ensure policy coverage reflects regulatory developments and aligns with our enterprise risk appetite.

• Provide guidance to policy owners on drafting, content quality, and structure.

• Contribute to the development of related training, communication, and governance materials.

• Present policy proposals, updates, and program enhancements to senior leadership and governance forums.

• Support ongoing program enhancements, quality assurance reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives within the broader Risk and Compliance Policy Program, including any ad-hoc projects requested by the Global Head of Policy

You’ll Need to Have:

• 10+ years of experience in risk management, technology risk, compliance, or policy development within a financial institution, technology company, or regulatory body.

• Deep subject matter expertise in at least two of the following areas: information security, cyber risk, technology operations, data governance/privacy, or IT risk management.

• Proven experience developing and implementing policy and governance frameworks in complex organizations.

• Strong understanding of global regulatory frameworks impacting technology risk (e.g., DORA, NYDFS Cyber, NIST, GDPR, MAS TRM).

• Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex risk concepts into clear, actionable policies.

• Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders, including technology leaders and senior executives.

• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

We’d Love to See:

• Experience working in or closely with second-line risk functions or internal audit.

• Experience with GRC tools (e.g., Archer, ServiceNow, OneTrust) and policy management platforms.

• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CIPP/US, CIPT, PMP).

• A collaborative and pragmatic approach to risk and compliance.
