Job Description

Bringing Vanguard’s mission to life
At Vanguard, we are on a mission to take a stand for investors and give them the best chance of investment success.
As a content creator for Vanguard’s retail investor business, you’ll play a key role in bringing that mission to life – creating clear, engaging content that helps people understand investing, pensions and retirement, and broader personal finance topics. Your work will help people feel more confident in their decisions and achieve their financial goals.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll create and deliver content for Vanguard’s retail investor audience, translating complex topics – from investing and market movements to pensions, retirement, investment accounts and everyday personal finance – into clear, accessible ways for retail investors.
This role is key to ensuring a consistent flow of high-quality content across channels, supporting ongoing campaigns and business priorities.
You’ll:
• Plan and produce high-quality content across multiple formats, including written articles, email, social media and video – often working across several projects and deadlines at once
• Turn Vanguard’s global research and thought leadership into engaging, relevant content for retail investors
• Support the delivery of marketing campaigns and wider business priorities, ensuring a consistent message across channels
• Work at pace to respond to market developments and business needs, while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail
• Help create content which financial advisers can use with their clients
• Work with our Digital Wealth team to produce content that can work for both Vanguard and our partners
You’ll work closely with economists, product teams and other subject matter experts to build a strong understanding of Vanguard’s investment philosophy, products and services – and bring these to life in a way that resonates with everyday investors.
A key part of the role is balancing engaging storytelling with regulatory requirements – producing content that meets legal and compliance standards, including Consumer Duty expectations.
You’ll respond to market developments and business needs with agility, maintaining high content production standards in a fast-moving environment.

Required Skills
What it takes
• Strong experience in content creation, ideally in personal finance journalism, working for a retail investor platform, or investment writing for a retail audience
• Proven ability to explain complex topics (e.g. investing, pensions, markets or personal finance) in ways that retail investors can easily access and understand.
• Experience working across content formats (articles, social, email, video) and adapting content for different channels

• Confidence working with subject matter experts and stakeholders, including incorporating feedback from multiple sources
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and iterating content based on stakeholder feedback
• Strong editorial judgement, with attention to detail and accuracy
• Understanding of regulatory requirements in financial services
• Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience
• Excellent written and communication skills
