The ETO is a dedicated business acceleration team within the Vanguard Enterprise Strategy and Transformation division that:

• In partnership with finance, sets and holds the standards for rigor within execution plans for Vanguard’s re-investment portfolio.

• Embeds teams within large enterprise-wide initiatives to provide integration and management support.

• Runs execution cadence of our enterprise management system to drive pace, accountability, and capital resource allocation.

Why join the ETO?

This is an opportunity to operate at the center of enterprise change, helping shape how the firm delivers its most important initiatives. Transformation Specialists gain exposure to senior leadership, work across divisions, and directly influence how strategy translates into measurable outcomes.

You should apply if you are excited about:

• Working on the organization’s top priorities – problem-solving the toughest issues and collaboratively building solutions to ensure successful execution

• Getting stuff done – managing complex implementation initiatives and ensuring all workstreams and teams progress towards goals

• Being part of a dynamic, high-performing team that is shaping the future at Vanguard.

An ideal candidate is:

• A quick learner: Strong business and operational acumen, with an ability to ramp up quickly on how business lines or functions operate and drive value.

• A problem solver: Comfortable navigating ambiguous topics, with a bias towards action. When ambiguity arises, this person is able to distill and prioritize key questions and analysis and isn’t afraid to offer a “Day 0” answer.

• An effective relationship manager: Skilled at managing complex, senior level business and functional leaders and pushing progress forward, especially in the face of divergent perspectives.

• An operator at heart: Experience with implementing strategy and driving business outcomes, with demonstrated success leading complex, fast paced workstreams. Ability to ruthlessly prioritize focus and efforts based on key business goals and changing circumstances.

• Minimum of five years related work experience. Two years of managing a project preferred. Financial Services and function-specific experience preferred.

• Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience required. Graduate degree preferred.
