Product Marketing Manager
Our mission starts with you!
More than 45 years ago, Vanguard founder John C. Bogle transformed the industry when he built an investment management firm owned by its clients. A simple but revolutionary idea that a mutual fund company should be managed in the sole interest of its funds’ investors. Rather than being publicly traded or owned by a small group of individuals, The Vanguard Group, Inc., is owned by its U.S.-domiciled funds and ETFs. Those funds, in turn, are owned by their investors. This unique mutual structure aligns our interests with those of our investors and drives the culture, philosophy and policies throughout Vanguard worldwide. As a result, Canadian investors benefit from Vanguard’s low costs, client focus, stability and experience. In this role you will develop marketing plans for competitive Vanguard products that contribute to key business priorities and desired outcomes.
