What is the role?

At Bloomberg Engineering & CTO Finance, we are committed to providing outstanding support to our business partners by delivering insight on business performance, financial oversight, and thought leadership.

This role is heavily focused on employee-related financials, including compensation, hiring, and the full scope of costs associated with supporting headcount. You will play a key role in managing and analyzing Engineering headcount P&L as it relates to headcount, workforce planning, and technology-related spend tied to employees.

As a member of this team, you will deliver a unique blend of financial and operational analysis, financial modeling, standardized reporting, and senior management support in a fast-paced and innovative environment. A core component of the role will be driving consistency and rigor in reporting across month-end close, budgeting, and quarterly planning cycles.

We will trust you to:

• Develop and maintain models focused on hiring forecasts, attrition, incremental headcount requests, location strategy, and entry-level training programs.
• Own and standardize reporting processes across month-end close, budgets, and quarterly reporting cycles, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
• Lead coordination of Engineering P&L reporting, ensuring a unified financial view across multiple spend categories and clear, standardized variance analysis in line with Corporate FP&A guidelines.
• Lead all aspects of financial reporting, analysis, and planning related to assigned P&L line items.
• Build and maintain benchmarks and business metrics tied to headcount, compensation, and Engineering spend.
• Partner closely with Engineering, HR, and Corporate FP&A to improve reporting accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.
• Support CFO-led strategic initiatives and contribute to broader business decision-making.
• Build tools and processes that support longer-term planning and scalability.
• Bring a positive, proactive attitude to a high-performing and collaborative team.
• Continuously expand your understanding of the Engineering organization, with opportunities to grow into areas such as Datacenters, Capital Planning, and Software Governance.

You will bring to the team:

• A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in finance, with a strong focus on financial analysis.
• Proven experience managing or supporting P&L processes, particularly related to headcount, compensation, and workforce-driven costs.
• Advanced financial modeling and data visualization skills.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking capabilities.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence outcomes and partner across teams.
• Experience working autonomously and making decisions within scope.
• A collaborative mindset with the ability to work across multiple departments and levels.

We would love to see:

• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience in a quantitative field such as Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Statistics, or Mathematics.
• Experience in financial services or a financial data provider.
• Prior experience in a Technology Finance environment, particularly supporting Engineering organizations.
• Experience standardizing financial reporting processes across planning cycles (month-end, budget, quarterly).
• Familiarity with enterprise planning and reporting tools such as SAP or Oracle.
• Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau or Qlik.
