The company focuses on low‑cost, client‑first investing and provides adviser education through its Vanguard 365 programme. In this role you will help expand Vanguard's footprint in the German adviser market, targeting national advisory firms and unit‑linked insurance partners. Your daily activities will centre on building and deepening relationships with key decision makers at national advisory firms, insurance providers and other intermediaries across Germany. You will design and implement business plans that uncover new opportunities, increase adoption of Vanguard's investment solutions and model‑portfolio capabilities, and meet sales targets. A core part of the job is delivering Vanguard 365 content, running workshops, webinars, events and educational programmes that support adviser development and improve client outcomes.
