Senior Product Manager
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.
You will step into this role at an exciting moment for Vanguard, as we rapidly strengthen our digital presence to become embedded in an advisor's day-to-day workflow, while accelerating expansion into a broader range of financial products and advisor services.
You will work with a highly talented and collaborative team, comprised of engineers, a UX designer, an analyst, and a scrum lead, in close partnership with a UX strategist and user researcher. It's a hard-working, collaborative group that values strong relationships.
Details

In this role, you will lead both product discovery and delivery-with a particularly strong emphasis on discovery.

- Be a leader in defining our vision and strategy around personalization and products, in close collaboration with a UX strategist, technical architect, and Digital/MarTech leadership.
- Constantly look for unmet advisor needs and prioritize small and large enhancements to better address them.
- Communicate findings and recommendations through compelling presentations and strategic roadmaps.
- Leverage leadership skills to rally a team of cross-disciplinary experts
- Develop and apply knowledge of the U.S. advisor industry, the Vanguard Financial Advisor Services offer, and the Vanguard Advisors' website to make informed recommendations.
Qualifications
- Previous or current Product Manager experience is required with strong understanding of product life cycle and product discovery.
- Minimum 8 years of related work experience, with at least two years of experience leading large cross-functional teams on major organizational projects.
- Bachelor's degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Computer Science or IT, or Bachelor's in Computer Applications (BCA), or Master's in Computer Applications (MCA).
- Strong expertise in digital product management, market analysis, and user experience optimization.
- Proven ability to translate customer insights into product improvements and new features.
