Job Summary

The Vanguard Financial Advisor Services Digital team is hiring an experienced, outcome-driven, and client-centric product manager to lead work at the core of our future vision: transforming how advisors use our website to explore and evaluate financial products.

This product manager will ground all decisions in deep advisor understanding, using that empathy to shape our personalization strategy for Vanguard products on the advisor website. You will orchestrate teams across the organization to enhance the fund-selection experience and make product information easier to discover across search and generative platforms.
