Our teams value collaboration, clear accountability, and pragmatic risk management, and we work together to deliver outcomes that scale with the firm.

The Risk and Compliance Shared Services (RCSS) team supports firmwide programs that require strong coordination, governance, and stakeholder engagement. We are seeking a SOC Program Strategy & Execution Lead to help drive the delivery, coordination, and continuous improvement of Bloomberg’s System and Organization Controls (SOC) reporting program.

As the SOC Program Strategy & Execution Lead, you will be responsible for coordinating and driving the end‑to‑end delivery of Bloomberg’s SOC reporting program, while contributing to its ongoing development and improvement.
