What's the role?

As a Control Management Lead in the Finance and Accounting Product Management Organization, you will be responsible for leading efforts to identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the finance organization's technology solution product lifecycle; including technology-related risks and controls that impact the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of our financial systems and data.

You will collaborate closely with Finance, Risk, Compliance, Audit, and Engineering Teams to manage robust risk governance across the product and technology landscape, guaranteeing the thoughtful delivery of compliant, resilient, and automation-ready products within the Finance & Accounting Domain. You will also be responsible for implementing and governing the IT General Controls (ITGC) and Automated Application Controls (ITAC) that underpin the integrity of financial reporting. This includes oversight of access and change management, segregation of duties, system configuration, and integration controls.

We are seeking an experienced, execution-focused individual to help build a strong IT controls environment supporting finance-critical systems. In this role, you will lead the design, assessment, and readiness of controls, evaluate risks across systems and integrations, and ensure that our control environment is rigorous, scalable, and aligned with the broader enterprise risk management standards. You will work closely with various teams across Bloomberg to embed proactive, technology-driven control solutions into our operations.

• Develop Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and dashboards to monitor technology risk posture alongside Risk and Engineering partners.
• Report risk trends and incidents to senior leadership through monthly risk and control forums.
• Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to embed risk thinking into product design and educate teams on risk awareness and control responsibilities.
• Oversee IT risk and control design across internal Finance and third-party applications for end-to-end reliability of system integrations.
• Coordinate infrastructure and platform control reviews, including availability of safeguards, access management, and configuration stability.
• Oversee change management and access governance across Finance Applications.
• Act as a liaison for both internal and external auditors and support audit readiness through evidence gathering, documentation, and walkthroughs.
• Drive control automation and continuous monitoring initiatives.

You'll need to have:

• 10+ years of experience in Technology Risk, IT Audit, Cybersecurity, or related controls within financial systems
• Proven success leading risk, controls, or audit functions, including managing or mentoring high-performing teams
• Deep understanding of internal control frameworks and key risk concepts (e.g., IT General Controls (ITGCs), operational and process-level controls)
• Strong knowledge of technology risk frameworks (e.g., NIST, COBIT, ISO 27001)
• Experience building or scaling centralized controls functions or leading finance transformation initiatives
• Expertise in designing and testing ITGCs and automated controls across modern ERP and third-party finance platforms (e.g., cloud-based financial, HR, and procurement systems), including integration oversight, access/change management, and control automation
• Strong leadership, project management, and stakeholder engagement skills
• Analytical problem-solving skills with a track record of improving process efficiency and reliability

We'd love to see:
