Description & Requirements

Bloomberg’s Legal and Compliance Department plays 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. Diversity and inclusion are essential to our success, and we strive to maintain an environment where our employees are empowered to make an impact. We also recognize the value and importance of giving back to our communities, as evidenced by our award-winning pro bono program!

What's the role? Based in London, this post is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a growing, cross-region Compliance team, to deliver specialist support for Bloomberg’s operational resilience (“Op Res”) program. The role offers the prospect of collaboration across varied functions and business lines, such as Risk, CISO, Engineering, Product, Sales, Data and more; working together to keep pace with the demands of clients and regulators worldwide. Across the team, Op Res program coverage will include all relevant domains, e.g.: cyber security and technology resilience, information security, BCP/DR, service mapping, incident management, third party risk, physical security etc.

The role entails active, hands-on involvement with design and delivery of program components, as well as advice, check and challenge. Comprising a broad framework of strategy, policy/procedures, controls, testing, risk management and more, the program offers great variety, and demands an agile and pragmatic approach to the work, as well as to stakeholder management.

The ideal candidate will be a quick learner, with experience of Op Res, cyber or information security program design, delivery and/or assessment, gained at a regulated financial services firm, or with a regulator or third-party provider in the financial services industry. Enthusiasm for problem-solving is a must, along with an eye for detail. Experience with regulator requests or engagement, and/or regulatory notifications or other submissions (whether on the firm or regulator side) would be a plus, as well as knowledge of financial markets and electronic trading. Good communication and interpersonal skills are critical, as is the ability to work both independently with minimal supervision, as well as collaboratively in a team.
