AI Enablement Lead, External Relations
Bloomberg · London, United Kingdom · 3d ago
Staff / Lead / PrincipalOn-siteMachine Learning & AI
The External Relations AI Enablement Lead will help accelerate the practical adoption of AI across Bloomberg’s External Relations organization. This role is for a hands-on, technically fluent builder who is excited by the opportunity to apply AI to real business workflows, especially in non-technical teams where the biggest gains may come from rethinking how work gets done.
The person in this role will work directly with teams across Communications, Corporate Philanthropy, Climate Finance, and Global Public Policy to identify high-value use cases, prototype AI-enabled workflows, improve individual and team productivity, and scale practical patterns across the organization. They will serve as a bridge between ER, engineering, product, operations, compliance, and firmwide AI teams, helping translate emerging AI capabilities into usable, responsible, high-impact ways of working.
What You’ll Do
Discover and Build
- Partner with ER teams to identify workflows where AI can materially improve speed, quality, insight, or scale.
- Prototype practical AI-enabled solutions using approved internal tools, automation techniques, and lightweight technical approaches.
- Translate ambiguous business problems into testable AI use cases, pilots, and repeatable workflows.
- Help teams rethink processes from the ground up rather than simply layering AI onto existing ways of working.
Enable and Scale
- Serve as a hands-on AI advisor and coach for ER colleagues, from first-time users to advanced practitioners.
- Develop reusable playbooks, examples, prompts, workflows, and training materials tailored to ER’s work.
- Run demos, office hours, workshops, and showcases that make AI use cases concrete and actionable.
- Build a community of AI champions across global ER teams and help successful ideas spread.
Connect and Unblock
- Act as ER’s central connector to firmwide AI, engineering, product, operations, legal, and compliance partners.
- Help colleagues navigate access, policy, security, and procedural questions around AI tools.
- Stay close to Bloomberg’s internal AI roadmap and translate relevant developments into clear opportunities for ER.
- Provide ER leadership with practical updates on adoption, emerging use cases, barriers, wins, and next opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on technical experience, ideally including programming, automation, data analysis, or product/engineering work.
- Strong practical fluency with AI tools and a genuine curiosity about where the technology is headed.
- Ability to work comfortably with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
- A builder mindset: you like experimenting, prototyping, testing, improving, and making things useful.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to business teams.
- Sound judgment around responsible AI use, confidentiality, compliance, and operational risk.
- Interest in applying technical skills to business transformation, workflow innovation, and organizational change.
Why This Role Matters
AI will change how knowledge work gets done. This role is an opportunity to be at the center of that shift inside a major Bloomberg function, helping teams move beyond experimentation toward practical, scaled impact. The right candidate will help shape how ER works in the years ahead and build a model for AI adoption that can influence broader organizational change.
If indicated, please note that years of experience are a guide; we will consider applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
