Senior Manager, Product Manager

Malvern, PA

Vanguard is seeking a visionary Senior Manager of Product Management to transform the participant experience across our digital platforms!

As a leader within the Workplace Solutions team, you'll play a key role in the newly restructured Participant Financial Success organization-focused on enabling participant strategy and delivering scalable, high-impact solutions. You'll own the strategic vision and execution of digital products that span both Workplace Solutions and Personal Investor, supporting participants as they navigate their retirement journey and explore investment opportunities.

In close partnership with marketing and technology teams, you'll bring personalized, data-driven experiences to life-especially as new tools like Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) are introduced. This role calls for a strategic problem solver with strong product leadership, technical fluency, and the ability to influence across teams and senior levels to deliver meaningful outcomes at scale.
