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.

What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in a business-related field; advanced degree or professional certification (e.g., MBA, CPA, CIA, ACAMS) is a plus.
- Minimum 5 years' experience in audit, risk, or controls— within the Australian financial services industry.
- Deep understanding of risk management, banking, and/or asset management, including relevant regulatory frameworks.
