About Vanguard

More than 50 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 30 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers, and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.

- Partner with internal teams, administrators, custodians, auditors and other service providers to resolve data, reporting and delivery dependencies.
- Prepare clear analysis and advice on assumptions, methodologies, reporting impacts, risks and issues for senior management and governance forums.
- Lead assigned workstreams and contribute subject-matter expertise to regulatory change, sustainability and reporting improvement initiatives.
- Identify and implement improvements across people, process, data and technology, including controlled use of automation, analytics and artificial intelligence.
- Provide technical guidance, peer review and coaching to other team members, helping build team capability and reduce key-person dependency.

- Strong experience in financial or regulatory reporting within superannuation, investment management or another highly regulated financial services environment.

- Sound knowledge of superannuation fund accounting and reporting, including financial statements, APRA reporting and relevant Australian accounting standards.
