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.

  • 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.
