Bloombergs Chief Risk Office plays a central role in ensuring that innovation is pursued responsibly across our global operations. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in Bloombergs products, platforms, internal workflows, and client-facing capabilities, the Chief Risk Office is building practical advisory capabilities that help technical and product teams identify, assess, mitigate, and monitor AI risks throughout the lifecycle.

• *Whats the role?**

We are seeking a Senior AI Risk Technical Advisory Lead to serve as a senior subject matter expert for AI risk and responsible AI across Bloomberg. This person will work closely with engineering, product, data science, legal, compliance, CISO, privacy, and risk stakeholders to provide practical, technically credible guidance on AI use cases, AI systems and data-related controls, risk assessments of AI systems, risk/control evaluation of third-party AI solutions, and AI regulatory expectations (e.g., EU AI Act) and industry standards.

This role is designed for a senior practitioner who can bridge technical AI implementation and enterprise risk oversight. The person may have a matrixed or dual-reporting relationship to a technology or product-facing risk advisory leader to ensure strong connectivity with AI builders and front-line advisory teams, while maintaining alignment with the Chief Risk Offices enterprise AI risk team.

Evaluate AI risks related to bias, explainability, hallucination, robustness, model drift, data leakage, privacy, security, intellectual property, misuse, transparency, and human oversight. Advise teams on appropriate controls, testing, monitoring, documentation, and risk mitigation strategies based on use case, data sensitivity, model type, deployment context, and regulatory exposure. Review complex or higher-risk AI use cases and provide risk-based recommendations to governance forums and senior stakeholders. Help define practical technical standards for responsible AI development, testing, validation, deployment, monitoring, and retirement.

• *_Framework and Control Development_** Partner with the Head of AI Risk Management to mature Bloombergs AI risk management framework, including classification, risk tiering, assessment methodology, control expectations, and monitoring standards.

• *_Cross-Functional Partnership_** Partner deeply with Technology, Product, Data, Legal, Compliance, CISO, Privacy, Procurement, and business teams to address emerging AI risks. Facilitate technical risk discussions and help resolve questions where product goals, engineering constraints, legal obligations, and risk appetite intersect. Serve as a senior escalation point for complex AI risk questions and emerging responsible AI issues. Support AI risk governance forums, executive updates, regulatory inquiries, and internal reviews.

• *_Enablement and Thought Leadership_** Serve as a trusted internal subject matter expert on responsible AI, technical AI risk, and AI control design.
