Description & Requirements

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 amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

Bloomberg's Chief Risk Office (CRO) plays a central role in ensuring that innovation is pursued responsibly across our global operations. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our products and platforms, the CRO Strategy and Operations team is focused on designing robust frameworks, policies, and controls to govern AI adoption with transparency, fairness, and accountability. Our cross-functional work spans Legal, Engineering, Product, CISO, and Compliance to ensure Bloomberg's AI systems operate safely, ethically, and in alignment with evolving regulatory standards.
What's the role?

We'll Trust You To:

• Facilitate stakeholder working groups, communications, and executive updates on AI risk and governance

Monitoring & Oversight

• Ensure alignment with global AI regulatory requirements (e.g., EU AI Act) and respond to regulatory inquiries or reviews
• Evaluate risks tied to third-party AI solutions, including sourcing, onboarding, integration, and ongoing oversight

Enablement

• Serve as an internal subject matter expert and thought leader on responsible AI use
• Support AI risk training, awareness, and culture-building across the organization

You'll Need to Have:

• Hands-on familiarity with generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, AWS Bedrock) and their risk implications
• Strong change management and stakeholder engagement skills, with a track record of influencing without authority across technical and business domains
• Knowledge of data governance practices, including metadata management, data lineage, and data minimization as they pertain to AI models
• Working knowledge of privacy, compliance, and regulatory frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CPRA, EU AI Act)

We'd love to see:

• Experience in Data Risk Management or direct collaboration with AI/ML development teams
