Melbourne, Australia Vanguard Group Full time

Head of Compliance, Australia

**About Vanguard**

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 more recently, superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.

- Coach, guide, and develop a team of legal and compliance professionals. Provide guidance, training, and motivation as necessary to develop employees (Vanguard crew). Set performance standards, review performance, provide feedback, and make informed compensation decisions in accordance with all applicable Human Resources policies and procedures.
- Provide strategic leadership in defining and implementing a compliance risk management framework to be executed by a team of compliance professionals.
