Job description

The energy of a newsroom, the pace of a trading floor, the buzz of a recent tech breakthrough; we work hard, and we work fast - while keeping up the quality and accuracy we're known for. It's what keeps us inventing and reinventing, all the time. Our culture is wide open, just like our spaces. We bring out the best in each other through collaboration. Through our countless volunteer projects, we also help network with the communities around us, too. You can do outstanding work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

What’s the role?

Bloomberg’s Corporate FP&A team works hand-in-hand with Finance senior leadership and our CFO teams to provide critical reporting to the Management Committee and Board of Directors.

We are evolving our Finance function and leveraging Finance Transformation as a tool to advance our output to Bloomberg and are seeking an experienced professional to join the team. As a key contributor, you will have the opportunity to drive change while delivering a unique blend of financial and operational analysis, financial modeling, reporting, and senior management support for a fast-paced and pioneering technology-based financial services business.

We’ll trust you to:

• Lead the financial reporting and analysis process, including clear and easy-to-follow report preparation to check the source of numbers and mitigate errors

• Identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of existing reporting processes, and propose and implement improvements to streamline the collection, use, analysis, and presentation of data

• Utilize strong report automation skills to pull together multiple data sources for report production efficiency and better data analytics.

• Learn current models, identify inconsistencies and optimize, where possible, existing business unit/account structures and standard allocation practices

• Project management skills and experience to organize tasks to implement firm wide changes and adhere to timelines set by management

• Communicate with executive level stakeholders (Finance senior management and CFO teams) on the financial results, performance vs. targets, and insights on key variances on a regular basis

• Work independently to manage multiple deliverables at once

You’ll need to have:

• 10+ years of experience in financial reporting and analysis

• BA/BS in Finance or related field

• Deep knowledge of SAP and/or Oracle EPM or similar financial reporting and performance management systems

• Ability to identify problems, understand the root cause, make recommendations and drive to a solution

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence outcomes of issues and projects

• Experience carrying out complex work with autonomy and make decisions within scope of responsibilities

We’d love to see:

• Degree in a quantitative subject: Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics

• Experience in financial services or a financial data provider industry a strong plus

• Flexibility to work in an entrepreneurial and fast-moving environment

• Familiarity with the Bloomberg terminal is useful, but not required

• Experience with Alteryx highly preferred
