It's what keeps us inventing and reinventing, all the time. "Our culture is wide open, just like our spaces." We bring out the best in each other. And through our countless volunteer projects, we help bring out the best in the communities around us, too. You can do amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

We have an exciting opportunity available to join the Global HR Technology team. The role reports into the Global Head of Enterprise HR. The Enterprise HR team supports HR professionals and internal key stakeholders, as well as partners with our elite technology team in order to provide first-class customer support and HR systems solutions. We’re leading an exciting transformational effort within HR at Bloomberg, centralizing and improving processes and controls and implementing new technologies.

The Role:

You’ll be responsible for ensuring that effective control standards are established and maintained, and that all the “end-to-end” processes that touch HR operate in a controlled, efficient and compliant manner. You’ll interact regularly with senior management, our finance functions and managers at all levels in the organization, including vendors and third-party providers. You’ll frequently be involved in matters that require complex judgment and solutions based on sophisticated and analytical thought, such as identifying solutions for a variety of complex audit control issues.

  • Oversee control-related aspects of process changes and improvements, technology upgrades and new technology implementations, ensuring that the control structure remains effective as the organization changes.
  • Ensure that process maps and documentation remain current, and that process changes are effectively managed from a control perspective.
  • Ensure that internal HR training effectively supports our control and governance priorities.
  • Partner with senior management to identify and design solutions for issues, inconsistencies and areas to improve business operations.
  • Serve a leader and evangelist in building and maintaining a culture of control and quality in various HR areas touching end-to-end HR processes.
  • Provide advice and leadership on compliance/control process issues.
  • Work closely with the business and Risk Management to assess risk and develop controls and mitigation strategies for risk areas.
