Job description

Description & Requirements

Bloomberg's Legal & 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 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.

What's The Role?

As part of our Global Compliance Practices team, you will work with Compliance colleagues, as well as key Legal, Risk, Business and Technology partners, in delivering a Compliance Risk Management Program (Program) and contributing to key regulatory initiatives. The role focuses on Regulatory Obligation Mapping, a key pillar of our Program, and includes leading and supporting its strategic implementation across multiple businesses, regions, and regulatory topics - which is a unique opportunity for broad exposure across the Company's businesses, operational risk programs (across technology, information security, enterprise risk management, business continuity, third-party) and regulatory-related controls. As part of risk management practices, you will identify and elevate top and emerging risks to senior management and to Compliance management.

We'll Trust You To:

• Execute end-to-end Regulatory Obligation Mapping for our Multilateral Trading Facility and Financial Crime/AML domains, including:
  • Scoping legal and regulatory obligations and Industry Standards across relevant jurisdictions and linking them to internal controls, risks, and documentation (policy, procedure, etc.).
  • Ensuring traceability and auditability of the mappings and maintaining high documentation standards.
  • Monitoring regulatory change and business developments to keep obligation mappings current through a structured trigger event management process.
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Business Line Control Management to produce accurate, high-quality regulatory maps.
• Lead and contribute to governance routines, ensuring consistent stakeholder engagement and timely issue escalation.
• Produce and present meaningful management information (MI) to Compliance leadership, risk committees, auditors, and regulators.
• Provide subject matter expertise on regulatory obligations, emerging compliance risks, and control adequacy -especially in investment banking and prudential regulations, and anti-money laundering domains.
• Support the enterprise risk management framework in partnership with the Chief Risk Office and Risk & Compliance Shared Services (RCSS).
• Challenge and guide first line of defense teams on control design and risk mitigation in a way that promotes accountability and proactive risk management.

You’ll Need To Have:

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in Compliance, Legal, Risk, Internal Audit, or related functions, with demonstrated experience in regulatory or control frameworks.
• Hands‑on experience in regulatory mapping, preferably in a global financial services or at a Big Four consulting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG).
• Strong understanding of global operational resilience regulations (e.g., DORA, FCA Operational Resilience, Reg. SST, Reg. SCI, BCM Guidelines, TRM Guidelines) and/or related industry standards (e.g., NIST, COBIT, FFIEC, COSO).
• Experience with compliance or risk frameworks.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex regulatory content into clear, actionable insights.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional initiatives, influence stakeholders, and manage competing priorities.
• Demonstrated ownership mindset, accountability, and ability to deliver high‑quality work under time pressure.
• Strong analytical skills and structured problem‑solving capabilities.
• Strong team player skills in order to guide organizational change and collaborate with key partners across various levels.

*Please note we use years of experience as a guide but we certainly will consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.

We’d Love to See:

• Prior experience supporting regulatory change or mapping programs within a financial institution.
• Knowledge of operational risk domains (e.g., Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, Capacity Planning, Third‑party Risk Management, Data Network and System Security, Incident Management, Risk Management).
• Passion for risk management and compliance, with a desire to build scalable and sustainable regulatory programs.
