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.
Team & Opportunity
As part of Vanguard Australia’s Digital Workplace Services team, you will lead the teams responsible for desktop, platform, and infrastructure support that enable our critical trading operations. Based on the trade floor, you will have a unique opportunity to work in a highly visible environment, partnering closely with our Investment Management Group and helping ensure the technology supporting day-to-day trading activity is reliable, responsive, and fit for purpose.
In this role, you will also oversee the technology supporting our Contact Center and voice platforms, giving you the chance to contribute to the growth and evolution of another strategically important area of the business. With touchpoints across Tech Central, cloud infrastructure, and broader IT support functions, this role offers breadth, visibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across Vanguard Australia.
This opportunity will suit an experienced technology leader who enjoys working in fast-paced, business-critical environments and building strong relationships with stakeholders across the organisation. You will bring strong operational leadership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to lead teams across complex technology domains. If you’re a bright and energetic communicator and strong relationship builder, we want to hear from you. Experience in trading, contact center technology, or IT infrastructure will be advantageous.
Applications close for this role on Sunday 5th July.
