Data Risk Program Manager - Chief Risk Office

Description & Requirements

What’s the role?

Bloomberg’s Chief Risk Office (CRO) plays a critical role in supporting our businesses and operations globally. We partner across the firm to identify, assess, and manage risks inherent in delivering world-class financial data, analytics, and news. The CRO Data Risk Program is responsible for ensuring enterprise data is appropriately governed, protected, and managed throughout its lifecycle—minimizing risk while enabling trusted and responsible use of data.

The CRO Data Risk Program will be instrumental in building and scaling Bloomberg’s enterprise data risk management capabilities. You will initially operate in a hybrid capacity across first and second lines of defense, partnering closely with engineering, data, and product teams to establish foundational data governance capabilities. As the program matures, the role will transition toward a dedicated second line of defense function, focused on governance, oversight, and independent challenge.

• Drive planning and execution of key workstreams within the CRO Data Risk Program
• Partner with Engineering, Data, Product, CISO, CTO, and Legal & Compliance teams to define and implement data governance and data risk capabilities
• Establish and maintain data risk management frameworks, standards, and controls aligned with business and regulatory expectations
• Support and guide the implementation of capabilities such as data classification, data discovery, metadata management, and data lineage
• Provide oversight and challenge to first line teams as capabilities mature, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards
• Identify capability gaps and prioritize enhancements based on risk, regulatory requirements, and most importantly business needs
• Develop and deliver metrics, dashboards, and reporting to measure program adoption, control effectiveness, and maturity (e.g., data classification coverage, lineage completeness, policy adherence)
• Monitor and assess data risk posture and control effectiveness, escalating risks and issues as appropriate
• Collaborate with partners across Operational Resilience, Privacy, and Compliance to translate regulatory expectations into practical data controls and capabilities
• Contribute to data risk training and awareness programs across the organization
• Serve as a subject matter expert in data governance and data risk management practices
