Advance your career and our mission

At Vanguard, serving people is at the heart of our core purpose to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success. That starts with you. As a Sales Consultant, you’ll be an advocate for our retail investors and the voice of our organization. You’ll provide an exceptional sales experience and support investors who have chosen or are considering investing with Vanguard. Our “crew,” as we call our employees, live the mission of doing the right thing for our investors every day. This is your opportunity to be part of that community.

In this role, you will:

  • Educate clients and prospects on Vanguard’s products and services including financial planning, cash management, and funds/ETFs and position appropriate solutions based upon the uncovered client needs.
  • Identify investors’ non-Vanguard assets, conduct advanced needs analysis of clients’ financial situation, and provide clients with Vanguard’s value proposition to win additional business.
  • Own the relationship during the sales process. Manage a book of clients and prospects that have not yet committed to Vanguard by engaging them through phone and digital channels to complete the sale.
