Description

Oversees the daily operational tasks of fund and investment Global Fund Accounting Operations team. Monitor various controls and procedures to ensure adherence to all policies and procedures. Serves as an escalation point to resolve technical issues. More than 45 years ago, John C. Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently. A company with no external shareholders. Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs. Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant. To this day, Vanguard Group still has no external shareholders. That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners. Today, Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors worldwide. For more than 25 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers, and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals. We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive professional to join our Global Fund Accounting & Oversight team. In this role, you will support the fund accounting oversight process for a range of products, be responsible for daily operational tasks and act as a key escalation point for technical issues. You’ll work closely with key stakeholders to support NAV activities and drive process improvements. What You’ll Do: Apply knowledge of NAV and Unit Pricing to maintain accurate daily fund valuations and support risk management. Serve as a subject matter expert to resolve complex operational issues and recommend strategic improvements. Act as an escalation contact and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders. Support key service provider relationships through regular touchpoints, feedback and collaboration. Support fund events and lead initiatives to enhance processes and workflows. Communicate with internal teams and external partners to resolve reconciliation and process issues. Oversee incident tracking, perform analysis, and implement workflow enhancements. Participate in special projects and contribute to continuous improvement efforts. Ensure compliance with internal controls and regulatory requirements across all processes. Analyse operational data to identify trends and opportunities for efficiency improvements. What You’ll Bring: Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in fund accounting or investment operations. Undergraduate degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (or equivalent experience). CFA or other financial designation preferred. Strong problem-solving, communication, stakeholder management, and attention to detail skills. Experience with financial systems and reconciliation tools. Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
