Ready to make an impact? Join IMG Service Operations!
If you thrive on precision, pace, and solving complex problems that ripple across global markets, IMG Service is where you belong. We’re the backbone of Vanguard’s Investment Management Group—running critical trade‑lifecycle services and this role will be dedicated to the Equity Investment Group.
Why join us?
Real market impact: Every decision you make touches portfolios and investors worldwide.
Global scope: Collaborate across regions in an integrated operating model.
Growth runway: Structured onboarding, clear role standards, and chances to lead initiatives that matter.
Culture that counts: Inclusive, candid, innovation‑minded—your ideas will shape the next generation of platforms and processes.
Who thrives here?
Market‑obsessed operators who care about how trades settle, liquidity behaves, and risk is controlled—especially when the tape is moving.
Systems thinkers who see the end‑to‑end ecosystem (front office, data, custody, vendors) and connect details to investor outcomes.
Calm problem‑solvers who escalate early, decide clearly, and execute flawlessly under time pressure.
Inclusive collaborators who communicate with clarity across desks, time zones, and perspectives.
Investment acumen & passion for markets
We look for people who enjoy the craft of investing operations, understanding instruments & market conventions and translating data into actions that protect accuracy and client value.
Tech curiosity is a plus (AI • Coding • ML)
You don’t have to be an engineer, but an interest in Python/SQL, automation, or applied ML is helpful. Comfort exploring tools like GitHub, Copilot or analytics platforms will help you streamline workflows, improve controls, and turn insights into scale as well.
What success looks like?
Operational excellence, trusted client partnership, and a mindset for continuous improvement. If you’re curious, resilient, and ready to build expertise that matters, we want to hear from you!
