City of Melbourne, Australia The Vanguard Group Full time

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.

Opportunity

The Head of Cross Asset Risk manages and oversees the design, development, and implementation of investment operational risk management systems and strategies. Provides investment operational risk management expertise and analysis across funds in a global environment.

What you’ll do:

- Lead and inspire a high-performing team, fostering growth, collaboration, and continuous learning.
- Design and implement robust operational risk frameworks that support global investment activities and drive process improvements.
- Deliver insights through analysis of incident data, risk and control assessments and to inform strategic decision-making.
- Engage and influence stakeholders across the business, representing the risk function with clarity and confidence.

What you’ll bring:

- 10+ years of relevant experience, including leadership in investment and operational risk roles.
- A strong understanding of investment management processes and risk management frameworks.

- A degree in a related field; postgraduate qualifications are a plus.

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.
