Description & Requirements
Our Team
Bloomberg’s Risk and Compliance functions play a critical role in supporting the firm’s businesses, clients, and global operations. We partner closely with Technology, Engineering, Legal, and Business stakeholders to manage complex risk and control environments in a fast-paced, highly regulated landscape. Our teams value collaboration, clear accountability, and pragmatic risk management, and we work together to deliver outcomes that scale with the firm.
The Risk and Compliance Shared Services (RCSS) team supports firmwide programs that require strong coordination, governance, and stakeholder engagement. We are seeking a SOC Program Strategy & Execution Lead to help drive the delivery, coordination, and continuous improvement of Bloomberg’s System and Organization Controls (SOC) reporting program.
What’s the Role?
As the SOC Program Strategy & Execution Lead, you will be responsible for coordinating and driving the end-to-end delivery of Bloomberg’s SOC reporting program, while contributing to its ongoing development and improvement.
This role is execution-focused and requires strong program management and cross-functional coordination skills. You will work closely with stakeholders across Technology, Engineering, Legal, Product, Risk, Compliance, Internal Audit, and external auditors to align on scope, timelines, and deliverables, and to ensure audit-ready outcomes.
In addition to supporting delivery, you will help identify opportunities to enhance governance, streamline processes, and improve how controls and supporting evidence are managed across the SOC program. You will operate at both a detailed, hands-on level and a broader program level, helping ensure consistent, high-quality execution across reporting cycles.
This is a senior individual contributor role that relies on influence, organization, and strong communication rather than direct people management.
We’ll Trust You To

- Coordinate the end-to-end SOC reporting process, including planning, scoping, timelines, and deliverables across multiple control domains
- Partner with Technology, Engineering, and subject matter experts to gather, review, and organize control documentation and supporting evidence

- Serve as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders and external auditors to ensure alignment on expectations and deliverables
- Support audit fieldwork by coordinating requests, facilitating discussions, and ensuring timely responses to auditor inquiries
- Monitor and track remediation activities identified through SOC reports, ensuring clear ownership and timely follow-up
Program Improvement & Governance
- Contribute to the development and refinement of SOC program processes, documentation standards, and governance practices
- Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, improve coordination, and enhance audit readiness across teams
- Support the development of the SOC program roadmap, including incremental improvements to scope, controls, and reporting approach
- Help ensure consistency in how controls, risks, and supporting artifacts are documented and maintained
- Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
- Communicate program status, risks, and key updates clearly to stakeholders, including senior management
- Translate audit and control requirements into practical guidance for partner teams
- Build strong working relationships across functions to drive alignment and accountability without direct authority
You’ll Need To Have
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Technology, Risk Management, or a related field
- 8–10 years of experience in risk management, compliance, audit, technology risk, or operational risk within a regulated or complex environment
- Working knowledge of SOC 1 and/or SOC 2 reporting, including familiarity with control concepts and audit expectations
- Experience coordinating audits, assurance programs, or control assessments across multiple stakeholders
- Strong program management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and timelines
- Experience partnering with Technology or Engineering teams to support control or audit-related activities
- Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience working with external auditors or third-party assessors
We’d Love to See
- Experience supporting SOC audits or similar assurance programs

- Exposure to operational resilience, continuity, or third-party risk frameworks
- Experience in Financial Services, FinTech, or other regulated industries
