More than 45 years ago, John C. Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently. A company with no external shareholders. Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs. Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant. To this day, Vanguard Group still has no external shareholders. That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners.

Today, Vanguard is one of the world's largest investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors worldwide. For more than 25 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers, and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.

Provide high-impact people support to aligned business areas within a complex, matrixed global organisation. This role is primarily responsible for the creation and alignment of people strategies and cyclical HR processes, enabling business outcomes through effective programs and policies. You'll serve as a strategic partner to a portfolio of business divisions, offering leader and employee support while driving initiatives that enhance operational effectiveness and workforce engagement.

• Partner with business leaders to develop and implement HR initiatives, acting as a liaison to specialist HR functions and contributing to the evolution of the overall HR strategy.
• Advocate for the HR agenda with senior stakeholders, aligning business practices with global programs and conducting workforce planning activities.
• Deliver insights and recommendations to improve HR program goals, supported by reporting on key trends and metrics.
