Based in London, this post is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a growing, cross-region Compliance team, to deliver specialist support for Bloomberg’s operational resilience (“Op Res”) program. The role offers the prospect of collaboration across varied functions and business lines, such as Risk, CISO, Engineering, Product, Sales, Data and more; working together to keep pace with the demands of clients and regulators worldwide. Across the team, Op Res program coverage will include all relevant domains, e.g.: cyber security and technology resilience, information security, BCP/DR, service mapping, incident management, third party risk, physical security etc.
The role entails active, hands-on involvement with design and delivery of program components, as well as advice, check and challenge. Comprising a broad framework of strategy, policy/procedures, controls, testing, risk management and more, the program offers great variety, and demands an agile and pragmatic approach to the work, as well as to stakeholder management.
The ideal candidate will be a quick learner, with experience of Op Res, cyber or information security program design, delivery and/or assessment, gained at a regulated financial services firm, or with a regulator or third-party provider in the financial services industry. Enthusiasm for problem-solving is a must, along with an eye for detail. Experience with regulator requests or engagement, and/or regulatory notifications or other submissions (whether on the firm or regulator side) would be a plus, as well as knowledge of financial markets and electronic trading. Good communication and interpersonal skills are critical, as is the ability to work both independently with minimal supervision, as well as collaboratively in a team.
