About this role
About the Role: Vanguard's Financial Advisor Services (FAS) division is building an AI-powered platform that guides seller decisions, automates routine work, and surfaces the right insight at the right moment. This is a 0→1 build with executive sponsorship. This is a regulated financial services environment — compliance, auditability, and explainability are built into the product. You'll own this product end-to-end — from discovery through scaled rollout — building capabilities that directly impact how sales crew serve our clients.
What You'll Own: Problem Discovery & Product Sense
• Lead continuous discovery with sales users and leaders across multiple roles and channels. • Define what to build, for whom, and in what order. Platform Build & Execution
• Own the product roadmap from MVP through scaled adoption. • Drive phased delivery from pilot through broad rollout. • Make scope and sequencing trade-offs under real constraints. • Drive product adoption where usage is earned, not mandated. AI/Agentic Product Development
• Define how AI agents behave within the product and what governs that behavior. • Partner with data scientists and engineers on models, recommendations, and generative features. Product Analytics & Metrics
• Own how we measure success and make scale/no-scale decisions. • Establish baselines and run rigorous pilots. Cross-Functional Leadership
• Partner with Engineering, Data Science, UX, Sales Leadership, and Compliance to ship with quality. • Drive build/buy/partner decisions.
Required Skills & Experience
• 7+ years of product management experience, with depth in 0→1 builds through scaled adoption. • Direct experience shipping AI/ML-powered products — LLMs, ML models, and generative features in production. • Experience building agentic AI products. • Strong problem discovery practice. • Rigorous product analytics skills. • Excellent product execution — you prototype, define evals, and drive cross-functional delivery to production. • Experience with enterprise or B2B products. Preferred
• Background in sales technology or CRM platforms. • Experience in regulated financial services • Familiarity with mobile-first product design for field-based users.
Why This Role You'll build an AI-native platform from the ground up inside a Fortune 500 financial services firm — with proprietary data assets, real user scale, and executive support. You'll define how AI agents work alongside humans in high-stakes workflows, solving real problems with measurable impact.
