Bloomberg’s Legal and Compliance 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 and compliance issues that come with being the world’s leading financial news and information company.
Our team is made of up of dedicated and hardworking professionals who think creatively and work collaboratively in an open environment to deliver results, drive innovation, and solve difficult problems. We recognise the value of diversity and inclusion in cultivating a supportive workplace where our employees are empowered to make an impact, and the importance of giving back to our communities as evidenced by our award-winning pro bono program.
The role
Based in London, this is a great opportunity to provide broad-ranging administrative and substantive support to the Legal and Compliance Team. Our team’s coverage includes legal and compliance support for Bloomberg’s various financial technology and data products, indices and benchmarks and our regulated trading venues. This calls on a wide range of expertise, including legal negotiations and advisory work, personal account dealing, regulatory systems management and permissions, compliance testing and practices, data privacy, and anti-money laundering. The ideal candidate will be interested in a fast-changing environment and have great communication and organisation skills, with a strong eye for detail. Furthermore, you will learn about how the Legal and Compliance Team supports the various business functions, including News, Engineering, Product, Sales, Government Relations, Communications, HR, Diversity & Inclusion.
We offer a dynamic and fast-moving environment that supports individual growth and offers an opportunity to develop a strong foundation of legal and regulatory compliance skills and experience, where you’ll rotate between both teams over the course of ten weeks. Hands-on individual support and involvement in projects will allow you to experience how your career could evolve in legal or regulatory compliance.
To round out your experience, you'll attend “lunch and learn” sessions, designed to teach you about our diversified group, and there will be opportunities to meet Bloomberg leaders at a variety of events. We also want to give you the chance to get to know your peers, so you'll take part in volunteering activities and social events with interns from other departments.
You’ll need to have
- Availability to commit to the entire intern programme length (10 weeks) – from 24 June through 30 August 2024
- Undergraduate or postgraduate status
