AI Governance and Risk Strategy Lead

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.

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.

We are seeking an AI Governance & Risk Strategy Lead to help refine and scale our enterprise-wide AI risk program. This person will play a critical role in maturing our frameworks for responsible AI-partnering with senior stakeholders across Technology, Legal, Compliance, Data, and Product to ensure the safe, ethical, and compliant use of AI systems across Bloomberg.
