We’re looking for a creative writer who’s comfortable managing complexity and ambiguity and can bring a strategic focus to the content and marketing tactics needed to build awareness and consideration. Our senior marketing writers may spend the bulk of their time writing content but add crucial value in helping their project partners focus beyond the immediate needs of each campaign, event, or deliverable.

Digital advertising campaigns over a variety of channels that spur readers to interact with other content on our website. Client-focused newsletters and digital journeys to support demand generation or account-based marketing efforts. Commentaries and blog posts from Vanguard experts, including senior leaders as well as those with deep knowledge about our investment products and services. Brochures and other promotional materials that deliver information clients can put into action. In this role, you will: Create in-depth, compelling communications and positioning on a range of subjects, including Vanguard funds, products, and services; financial markets; the economy; regulatory matters; portfolio construction and theory, and internal communication topics. Display versatility in producing clear communications through a wide range of styles and channels, including responsive webpages, campaigns, ads, emails, presentations, blogs, videos, letters, articles, videos, and social media channels. Expertly present and "sell" content and design solutions to senior management, project teams, partners, and stakeholders. Ensure the success of the strategy. Assume a leadership role on key projects for the department or cross departments that require data analytics and subject matter expertise, including responsive webpages, timely communications, campaigns, visioning, testing, and news. Provide creative direction and guidance on messaging and/or content strategy across mediums--working closely and collaboratively with designers, developers, marketing managers, and business leaders. Lead the creation of new approaches or processes with a 1–3-year outlook.
