What's the role?

Bloomberg's Chief Risk Office (CRO) Department plays a critical role in supporting our businesses and operations around the world. We move quickly and thoughtfully to help address risks that are inherent with being the world's leading financial news and information company. 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. Diversity and inclusion are essential to our success, and we strive to maintain an environment where our employees are empowered to make an impact. We also recognize the value of diversity and inclusion in cultivating a supportive workplace and the importance of giving back to our communities.

The CRO team provides coverage of both Bloomberg's regulated entities and products, and Bloomberg's non-regulated products and services. Our focus is to address risks and related issues by providing risk management as a service, focusing on providing and delivering value to help businesses and departments thoughtfully incorporate risk into decision making.

The CRO collaborates with other functions, including Legal and Compliance, Finance, Operational Resilience and Internal Audit, to provide centralized risk frameworks, processes, tools, training and advisory services to businesses and departments.
