Business Continuity Advisor

As a company that helps millions of shareholders build and preserve wealth, Vanguard plans carefully and methodically to ensure a quick and smooth recovery in the event of an emergency or disruptive event.

Our mission statement

To lead a holistic business continuity process and governance framework for building organizational resilience by empowering Vanguard's diverse and global business with the capability for effective response, recovery, and restoration of operations to safeguard the interest of all stakeholders.

As a senior member of Enterprise BCM and Vanguard's Enterprise Incident Response (EIR) team, you'll thrive in a global enterprise 24/7 responsibility that monitors risk signals across our workforce, workspace, digital, cyber, supplier, and financial domains-escalating and coordinating enterprise responses when seconds matter, including participation in an off-hours on-call rotation. You'll serve as the connective tissue across divisions, regions, and response partners-driving situational awareness, executive-ready communications (checkpoints, ENS messaging, channel updates), and post-event learning through Post-Incident Reviews and After-Action Reports that translate lessons into stronger controls, compliance, and resilience.

Beyond incidents, you'll steward the continuity lifecycle-business impact analysis, contingency planning, and executive exercise design-continually refining playbooks, training, and delivering executive-level tabletops so Vanguard is "at our best when things are at their worst." You'll also partner with key stakeholders to assess readiness while maturing standards, tools, and practices in concert with our business continuity management program. Ideal candidates bring 5+ years of relevant experience (including 3+ in business contingency/disaster recovery/incident management) and progress toward credentials such as CBCP/MBCP, CISA, or CISSP.
