Business Project Manager — Malvern, PA at Vanguard

About the Team

We are hiring for two complementary roles that support the Personal Wealth (PW) leadership team. These positions are designed to translate strategic priorities into clear planning, reporting, and governance processes. Both roles combine strategic thinking, program leadership, stakeholder partnership, and analytical problem-solving to support executive decision-making and drive business outcomes.

Candidates may be aligned to one of the following focuses based on experience and business need:

Executive Reporting & Analytics Focus: Leads the development of executive-ready reporting (dashboards, QBRs, scorecards, OKRs), synthesizes complex data into decision-ready insights, and partners with Finance, Data & Analytics, and business teams to strengthen reporting quality.
Initiative Health & Oversight Focus: Maintains a clear view of initiative progress, risks, and dependencies across the portfolio, drives consistency in tracking and escalation, and translates initiative status into simple, decision-ready narratives for leadership.

About the Role

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving, changing environment with a strong bias toward action and results. You will be comfortable working with evolving clarity, helping leaders move forward with confidence even when information is incomplete. This role requires a strong sense of urgency, the ability to prioritize quickly under time pressure, and the resilience to adapt as priorities evolve.

You will operate effectively in ambiguous, dynamic environments by asking the right questions and helping teams move forward without waiting for perfect information. Your sound judgment will determine when to go deep and when "good enough" keeps momentum. Strong executive communication skills are essential to build clear, well-structured narratives for senior audiences and adjust the depth of information as needed.
