Melbourne, Australia Vanguard Group, Inc. Full time

Client Service Associate

**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 superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.

**Team and Opportunity**

We are hiring for Client Services Associates to join our well-established Personal Investor business to answer client requests and manage interactions to resolve client needs. This role is responsible for delivering a high quality of service to existing and new Vanguard Personal Investor clients, Financial Advisers, and our future Vanguard Super members.

- Recognizes opportunities and recommends process improvements to gain efficiencies and ensure quality.
- Uses a consultative approach to position products and services to clients.
- Develops and maintains proficient knowledge of Vanguard funds, products, and services. Understands the overall Financial Services industry and related legal, tax, and regulatory issues to guide clients.
- Participates in special projects and performs other duties as assigned.

**What we are looking for**
- Minimum of two years related work experience in the Financial Services within Superannuation or Fund Management industry. Experience in client services, preferably in contact centre environment.
- Demonstrated client first mentality, ensuring outcomes are met to deliver top tier service to all clients.
- Strong analytical capabilities, research, and time management skills. Proficiency in client services and procedures preferred.

- Demonstrated ability to function in a fast paced, ambiguous environment working with multiple business partners and diverse responsibilities.

**Inclusion Statement**

Vanguard's continued commitment to diversity and inclusion is firmly rooted in our culture. Every decision we make to best serve our clients, crew (internally employees are referred to as crew), and communities is guided by one simple statement: "Do the right thing."

We believe that a critical aspect of doing the right thing requires building diverse, inclusive, and highly effective teams of individuals who are as unique as the clients they serve. We empower our crew to contribute their distinct strengths to achieving Vanguard's core purpose through our values.

When all crew members feel valued and included, our ability to collaborate and innovate is amplified, and we are united in delivering on Vanguard's core purpose.

Our core purpose: To take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.
