• Anticipate and analyse regulatory trends, particularly in areas such as market structure, data, operational resilience, benchmarks, asset management, risk, and sustainable finance.
• Shape policy outcomes by clearly articulating Bloomberg's positions in regulatory consultations, public comment letters, and bilateral discussions.
• Advise senior leaders across Bloomberg through strategic policy briefings and updates, enabling informed decision-making in a complex regulatory landscape.
• Collaborate across the business - including Legal, Compliance, Product, Risk, and Sales - to ensure a consistent and informed response to regulatory initiatives.
• Support Bloomberg's convening power by contributing to events and discussions that bring together senior policymakers, regulators, and financial market leaders.

What You Bring

• A minimum of 7 years of relevant experience, ideally within a regulatory authority, central bank, or in a regulatory/government affairs team at a financial institution or large corporate.
• Deep knowledge of the UK and EU regulatory landscape, with a strong grasp of global policy developments and the political context shaping them.
• Subject matter expertise in one or more of the following: market infrastructure, ESG and sustainable finance, data governance, financial risk, or regulatory technology.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex regulatory issues into actionable insights for internal and external stakeholders.
• A collaborative, strategic mindset and comfort operating in a fast-paced, intellectually demanding environment.
