• Define Vision and Strategy: Collaborate closely with a UX strategist, technical architect, and product leadership to shape our vision and strategy around product and portfolio analytics.
• Prioritize User Needs: Continuously seek out unmet needs and prioritize enhancements, both big and small, to better address them.
• Communicate Effectively: Present findings and recommendations through compelling presentations and strategic roadmaps.
• Rally the Team: Leverage your leadership skills to inspire and align a team of cross-disciplinary experts.
• Industry Knowledge: Develop and apply a deep understanding of the U.S. advisor industry, Vanguard Financial Advisor Services, and the Vanguard Advisors' website and tools to make informed recommendations.
