This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.
You will have an exciting opportunity to help shape the build-out of Vanguard's ESG offer and keep pace with the challenges of regulatory change. ESG is a constantly evolving space, with regulators working to build transparency, combat greenwashing and support the financial sector in its net-zero transition.
This role will (i) help Vanguard assess the implications of ESG regulations, (ii) consider how to incorporate ESG considerations into Vanguard's investment management, products, and stewardship activities and (iii) ensure appropriate disclosure of these activities in reporting deliverables. Ultimately this role will fulfil the mandate to effectively implement ESG regulatory change across our European business.
In this role you will:
* Lead ESG change workstreams, analysing regulation to understand the key implications, and plan, schedule, coordinate, and manage activities required to deliver the ESG project.
* Collaborate closely with ESG representatives across IMG (Investment Management Group), Stewardship, PRD (Portfolio Review Department), OGC (Office of the General Counsel), Data, Distribution and Technology teams to understand where change is required to meet European regulatory requirements.
* Produce detailed documentation to record requirements and prepare executive-level communications to summarise the high-level impact.
* Lead workshops to design implementation solutions to incorporate ESG considerations across the business.
* Coach and support junior members of the team regarding best practice of business analysis and project management.
* Develop, manage and execute project plans (working closely with programme managers) and define the roles and responsibilities of ESG stakeholders.
* Benefit from coaching and mentorship from Vanguard Europe's senior management within the Finance organization.
* Gain a detailed understanding of ESG across Vanguard and industry.
What it takes / qualifications:
* Minimum of four years related work experience, with experience in ESG, leading regulatory analysis and project management highly desirable.
* Experience in asset management highly desirable.
* Interest in ESG and a passion for sustainability.
* Diligent, with a high attention to detail.
* Able to think critically and strategically, navigate ambiguity and identify interdependencies.
* Effective communicator, able to articulate challenges and solutions simply and clearly.
* Able to see and understand the big picture, while being able to deep-dive into the detail.
* Able to build and develop strong relationships across diverse partner teams.
* Highly organised, and good at managing and influencing stakeholders.
* A self-starter, able to independently identify and progress workstreams.
* Ambitious and eager to develop your career in the ESG space.
* An inherent focus on strategic delivery with an ability to 'join the dots' across the organisation, especially against specific risk management, governance and board reporting requirements.
Special Factors
* Hybrid work model
* Vanguard is not offering visa sponsorship for this role
