CRO - Business Continuity & Resilience Risk Lead

Bloomberg is seeking a seasoned professional to join its second line of defense (2LoD) Risk function, providing independent oversight, challenge, and governance of the firm's Resilience program — encompassing Business Continuity(BC), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Operational Resilience.  

The ideal candidate is a technically grounded practitioner who can credibly engage with engineers, infrastructure teams, and product teams — not just assess documentation — and translate technical recovery capabilities into meaningful risk judgments. They bring the seniority to influence senior stakeholders and the hands-on depth to ask the right questions when it matters most. This leader will be expected to work closely with key executives, including the Company’s central Business Continuity Management (BCM) lead, ENG leaders overseeing the Company’s DR program, and the Company’s Operational Resilience leadership team, among others, as a key risk adviser. 

Critically, this is someone who operates with a genuine risk-based mindset — prioritizing effort, scrutiny, and escalation in proportion to actual risk exposure rather than applying uniform oversight for its own sake. They are thoughtful and deliberate in how they form views, practical in how they communicate and embed findings, and pragmatic enough to distinguish between issues that matter and noise that doesn't. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Provide robust independent oversight and challenge of Bloomberg's BC, /DR and broader resilience programs and practices operated by the first line of defense. This will include, for example, assessment, oversight, and challenge of the adopted frameworks and strategies for BC, DR, and OpRes.  

• Assess the technical adequacy of the firm's recovery posture —
