Economist

**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 & Opportunity**

Vanguard has incredible people and an inspiring mission: To take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success. If you are interested in making a positive impact on the outcomes of investors across the globe and have a passion for economics, data, research, and working in teams, this is a great opportunity for you.

- Stay abreast of economic and policy developments, to continuously provide timely in-house views, and improve analytical models and forecasts.

- Participate in cross-team debates and collaborations on Vanguard's investment methodology. Develop recommendations on new research topics or methodology issues
- Participate in client, public relations, or other external-facing activities as assigned
- Proactively identify opportunities to enhance team research capabilities, such as new data sources or analytic techniques
- Participate in special projects and performs other duties as assigned

**What it takes**

- Undergraduate degree in finance or economics or equivalent combination of training and experience required. Graduate degree preferred
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with proficiency in econometric software (e.g., R, Stata, EViews)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex economic concepts to diverse audiences
- Proven experience managing relationships with business stakeholders preferred. Ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with business stakeholders within and outside one's own team, including setting priorities, project milestones and timelines, and make timely adjustments in an evolving environment
- Experience collaborating in an international team environment, desired
- Intellectual curiosity and a passion for generating and pursuing "big ideas" for "aha" insights through research
- Team-first orientation and openness to learning new ideas, skills, and ways of working with a diverse set of teammates
