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. We are looking for a Finance Specialist to join our broader finance team supporting the Engineering and CTO organizations.

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:

• Provide ongoing financial and transactional support focused on Engineering headcount management and costs, including employee compensation, hiring plans, and all associated people-related costs
• 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.
• Familiarity with the Bloomberg Terminal (preferred but not required).
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
