Director of IT — Bloomberg Connects

The Director of IT will define, stand up, and govern the organization's entire enterprise IT and access-management environment. This is a newly created, sole-owner role: the first and only dedicated IT leader for Bloomberg Connects. The Director will architect the environment and direct a network of specialized agencies, MSPs, and subcontractors to implement it, holding them accountable to standards set by the Director.

What You Will Do

Define and execute the IT strategy and roadmap for Bloomberg Connects, building a scalable, secure, and cost-effective technology environment to support continued global growth. Lead the transition from shared infrastructure to a standalone IT operating model, establishing core enterprise services including identity, networking, collaboration, endpoint management, and cloud platforms.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The Director of IT will oversee global IT operations as a single accountable owner — reliable end-user support, identity and access management, device lifecycle management, and service delivery — executed primarily through managed vendors and agencies you direct. The Director will also develop and maintain a modern cybersecurity program: endpoint security, identity protection, incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
