We have an exciting opportunity available to help us proactively shape the build-out of our ESG offer.  You will benefit from coaching and mentorship from Vanguard Europe’s senior management within the CFO organization and PRD, as we pursue our core objectives of delivering superior client outcomes, generating a positive risk-adjusted return, and creating conditions for everyone to thrive in.

In your role, you will collaborate closely with ESG representatives across IMG, Investment Stewardship, PRD, OGC, Data, Reporting, Distribution and Technology teams to help Vanguard meet our European ESG regulatory requirements. This will involve considering how Vanguard incorporates a range of ESG considerations into our investment management, products, and stewardship activities and how to ensure appropriate disclosure of these activities in regulatory and reporting deliverables.
This opportunity has a direct and significant impact on our ability to keep pace with the challenges of ESG regulatory change, across multiple jurisdictions, by ensuring we comply with stringent regulatory requirements and enhance the quality of the service that we deliver to clients.

In this role you will:

  • Develop and maintain key relationships with ESG representatives across the organization, to deliver on ESG regulatory and reporting deliverables.
  • Collaborate with ESG SMEs to analyse the impact of ESG regulation to Vanguard’s European business, producing a “map and gap” analysis to enable us to plan our resource need and identify inter-dependencies, so we can execute on all actions needed to deliver our ESG OKRs.
  • Produce documentation to appropriately record business requirements, impacts and actions.
  • Work closely with ESG programme managers to define goals, project milestones and roles and responsibilities of working group members.

What it takes:

  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, assess context, identify key-interdependencies and articulate trade-offs /compromises to develop a commercial project plan.
  • An ability to build and develop a strong network across diverse partner teams.
  • Flexible and conscientious; comfortable handling a wide array of requests and tasks, able to prioritise effectively and assess when and how escalation may be needed to drive outcomes.
  • A self-starter, able to independently identify and progress workstreams.
  • Able to see and understand the big picture while being able to deep dive into the details as and when needed, to maximize the value of SME input.
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.

 

Future of Work

During the pandemic, we transitioned to a work from home model for the majority of our crew and we continue to interview, hire, and on-board future crew remotely.

As we have developed the path forward, we have taken a thoughtful approach that both maximizes the advantages of working remotely and the many benefits of coming together and collaborating in a shared workspace. We believe that in-person interactions among our crew are important for preserving our unique culture and advantageous for the personal development of our crew.

When our Crew return to the office, many will work in our hybrid model. A smaller proportion of our crew will operate in the Work from Home work model (for example, field sales crew); or in the Work from Office model (for example, portfolio managers).

The working model that your role falls into will be communicated to you in the interview process – please do ask if you are unsure. We encourage you to make the decision regarding your job interview and offer knowing which model your role will fall into. We will test and learn as our ways of working evolve and will continue to evaluate working models along the way.
