Our Team

Challenging. Surprising. Fast-paced. Purposeful. Life at Bloomberg is many things, but it’s never dull. We’re a global business with a diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on being open, inclusive and collaborative — and in providing a work environment that inspires our employees to be their best. At Bloomberg, we work with purpose. All of us engage in meaningful work, delivering leading edge products and solutions that shape the industry and provide value to our customers. You’ll also get to work at a company that lives its values and provides employees with opportunities to give back. Whether you thrive on the energy of a newsroom, the pace of a trading floor, or the buzz of a recent tech breakthrough, we’ll give you more than a job. We’ll give you the opportunity to do amazing work you couldn’t do anywhere else.

Bloomberg’s Legal Department plays a critical role in supporting our businesses and operations around the world. We move quickly and thoughtfully to help address a variety of complex legal issues that come with being the world’s leading financial news and information company. Our team is made up of talented and hardworking professionals who think creatively and work collaboratively in an open environment to deliver results, drive innovation, and solve difficult problems. We also recognize the value of diversity and inclusion in cultivating a supportive workplace and the importance of giving back to our communities as evidenced by our award-winning pro bono program.

The Global Financial Regulatory team provides coverage and legal support for Bloomberg's regulated entities and products as well as guidance for Bloomberg's unregulated products and services. We are influential in the development of new products, services and regularly provide legal advice regarding the design and implementation of new products and services.

• Experience interpreting CFTC rules, orders, guidance, no-action letters and other regulatory developments and assessing their application to an electronic trading venue.

• Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills and the ability to thrive in an open office environment
