About this job:

At Vanguard, we have a client-first mentality that we live and breathe every day through our mission, "to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success." Our Client Relationship Associates fulfill our mission by helping our clients through life's biggest moments - from buying their first home to preparing for retirement. In this role, you will connect with clients via inbound phone calls to assist with their account-related needs.

If you have a passion for serving others, building your skillset, and giving every investor the best chance for investment success, join our team of "crew" as a Client Relationship Associate!

At Vanguard, we believe in supporting our "crew" personally through all life stages.

Total potential compensation for this role is $65,912 ($48,750 base salary plus up to a one-time $12,500 bonus, additional hourly pay, and eligible promotional bonuses) within your first year upon obtaining the required licensing and achieving performance standards.

Responsibilities:

We are here to simplify the world of investing, meet our clients where they are, and ensure they feel supported when they call in to Vanguard. As a Client Relationship Associate, you will:
  • Partner with our clients via inbound phone calls to assist them with a wide range of financial inquiries, from account maintenance to identifying and resolving issues.
  • Lead with empathy and a problem-solving mindset to help uncover client needs and provide timely and accurate solutions to clients.
  • Collaborate with internal departments through various strategic initiatives to continuously improve the client and "crew" experience.

What it takes:

You don't have to be a financial expert to be an advocate for our clients!

We welcome, and encourage, individuals from all backgrounds and experiences - the most important things you need are a passion for serving others and a thirst for knowledge. We have seen most success from individuals with:
  • Strong interpersonal and client relationship management (CRM) skills to engage with our clients and our "crew."
  • Customer-facing and/or in-bound phone experience.
  • A learner's mindset and an appetite for financial acumen.
  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of experience, preferred.
  • This job requires a Series 7 and 63 regulatory license and/or registration (e.g. FINRA, state, SFC). These will be determined by Compliance based on role-specific duties.

How we will help:

Choosing the next step in your career path can be a difficult decision - we are here to support you to ensure you thrive professionally from the moment you join. Our training, development, culture, and benefits are designed with "crew" in mind. We will provide you with:
  • Fully paid training, coaching, and continuous support needed to pass the SIE and FINRA Series 7 & 63
  • Access to learning and development resources to equip, and empower, you with the skillset to continuously improve and problem solve in collaboration with your peers and business partners
  • Hands-on coaching by purpose-driven leaders to help you excel in your current role, and prepare you for the next
