Bloomberg's EMEA Compliance team in London is looking for an experienced person to join the EMEA Compliance team to act as Chief Compliance Officer of the newly-formed Bloomberg Trade Repository ("TR"), and provide compliance support to Bloomberg LP where appropriate.

The EMEA Bloomberg Compliance Department is part of the Global Bloomberg Compliance Department and provides compliance coverage of Bloomberg's regulated entities and products, as well as compliance support for Bloomberg's non-regulated products and services. The Compliance Department works closely with the Legal Department to address regulatory issues, ensuring compliance with current and developing rules and regulations, and corresponding with regulators.

This is a unique team which utilises the diverse skills and experience of all members to succeed in covering many different products and regulatory requirements. It offers an environment to share knowledge and experiences, and to develop individually in a company that positively encourages collaboration and teamwork.

The Opportunity

Bloomberg's EMEA Compliance team based in London is looking for a suitably experienced individual to take the role of Chief Compliance Officer of Bloomberg Trade Repository Limited ("BTRL"), which requires the person to be registered as such with the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA"). It is a senior position with responsibility for providing appropriate compliance oversight of Bloomberg's ESMA authorized trade repository.

The ideal candidate will have relevant regulatory experience with regard to EMIR regulations, will be familiar with wider European regulations as well as FCA requirements, and be able to manage and operate a compliance program for Bloomberg's TR with the requisite policies, procedures and controls. It is also expected that the individual will provide compliance support to other Bloomberg LP functions, notwithstanding the primary focus to BTRL.
