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 legal issues that arise across the Company’s various businesses. Our team is made up 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 in cultivating a supportive workplace and the importance of giving back to our communities as evidenced by our award-winning pro bono program.

The Global Compliance team within Bloomberg’s Legal & Compliance Department provides coverage of our regulated entities and products including support for our non-regulated products and services. We work to address regulatory issues, ensure compliance with current/developing rules and regulations, and correspond with regulators.

What's The Role?

We have an exciting role where you will be helping lead compliance support for Bloomberg’s Environmental, Governance, and Social (ESG) products and services. The role will focus on identifying, assessing, and mitigating compliance and regulatory risks applicable to ESG products and services under UK, EU and other current and future regulatory expectations and you will be working with our global Compliance team, along with Legal and Risk colleagues, to provide ongoing compliance support and guidance.

You will need to be a quick learner with a background in financial markets, data, and technology, as well as having relevant experience with evolving ESG principles (for example, the IOSCO Recommendations for ESG Ratings and Data Providers, or the voluntary Codes of Conduct adopted by countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore). You should also be familiar with, or be able to gain expertise in, proposed or recently adopted regulations like the EU ESG Ratings Regulation, CSRD, and CSDDD. You may also be asked to support Bloomberg’s other data, research and analytics products such as Bloomberg Intelligence and BloombergNEF. Knowledge of regulations that may impact these areas of the business could include existing or evolving regulations related to ESG, investment advice, benchmark administration and alternative data, among others.

You'll need to have:

• Over 8 years* working in the financial services sector with exposure to ESG, in a compliance and/or risk management role.

• Experience with regulators engagements and working familiarity with global rules, interpretative guidance and directives relating to the provision of ESG ratings, scores and data products (and/or similar experience for a pricing provider).

• The ability to conduct technical and detailed review of methodologies for scores, pricing and data products.

• Experience with ESG transparency, governance, conflict of interest management and implementation of comprehensive systems and controls to comply with applicable regulatory requirements drawing upon recommendations from IOSCO as a baseline for standards.

• The ability to assess, interpret and provide pragmatic guidance on issues relative to a suite of business products offered as information for the purposes of making investment decisions.

• Experience of identifying and managing risk, including risk framework and issue management.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong attention to detail, specifically in drafting policies, procedures, manuals, and reports and presentations for senior management and governance committees.

• Strong executive presence.

• Demonstrated ability to address multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and collaboratively as part of a team.

• An analytical mind with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Willingness to roll up your sleeves and help out even when it’s not in your job description.

*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:

• Familiarity with or understanding of regulatory risks associated with pricing, index, and research compliance matters under U.K., EU, and/or U.S. regulations.

• An understanding of the language of data, in order to work closely with data management professionals, data analysts and data scientists.

• Broad understanding of the financial markets, so that you are able to review, understand and discuss in-depth methodology documents, research and analysis.

• Experience with Bloomberg, in particular Bloomberg Intelligence, BloombergNEF, BVAL or BPIPE.
