About Vanguard
More than 45 years ago, John C. Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently. A company with no external shareholders. Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs. Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant. To this day, Vanguard Group still has no external shareholders. That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners.
Today, Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors worldwide. For more than 25 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers, and superannuation

Develops and maintains knowledge of market structure, microstructure, and transaction cost analysis, especially in the APAC region, to bring an informed perspective to the research process.
Acts as primary TAS contact for APAC trading, local technology and product teams. Uses communication and interpersonal skills to integrate with the trading desk. Tailors communication of complex concepts to the needs and abilities of the audience.
Contributes to the global TAS agenda, coordinate with the global team to align tools and analytics models, participate and drive some of the global initiatives.
Skills required
Exceptional conceptual, analytical, and problem solving skills, with proven ability to build/execute.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, interpersonal skills, and professional presence.
Proficiency in SQL, Python and ML libraries; familiarity with OneTick a plus
