What’s the role?

Bloomberg’s Chief Risk Office (CRO) plays a critical role in supporting our businesses and operations globally. We partner across the firm to identify, assess, and manage risks inherent in delivering world-class financial data, analytics, and news.

The CRO Data Risk Program is responsible for ensuring enterprise data is appropriately governed, protected, and managed throughout its lifecycle—minimizing risk while enabling trusted and responsible use of data.

This role will be instrumental in building and scaling Bloomberg’s enterprise data risk management capabilities. You will initially operate in a hybrid capacity across first and second lines of defense, partnering closely with engineering, data, and product teams to establish foundational data governance capabilities. As the program matures, the role will transition toward a dedicated second line of defense function, focused on governance, oversight, and independent challenge.

The CRO Data Risk team provides enterprise oversight across key capabilities including Data Inventory, Data Classification, Data Discovery, Metadata Management, and Data Lineage.
