This is an exciting opportunity to shape and embed a new Sustainability Disclosure Oversight capability within Operations, tasked with providing a holistic review over global sustainability entity‐level disclosures. This role will ensure the accuracy, consistency, and alignment of Vanguard's sustainability disclosures; reviewing, benchmarking, and enhancing ESG content across frameworks and geographies. You'll challenge ESG data validation, conduct external comparisons, and drive continuous improvement to ensure our disclosures are clear, credible, and consistent.

In this role you will:

• Holistically review and edit the content of entity‐level sustainability disclosures, to ensure their accuracy, consistency and alignment with regulatory and voluntary frameworks.
• Ensure alignment of ESG disclosures across both external and internal reports, regulatory and discretionary materials and European and Global disclosures, in both content and format by leveraging technology solutions.
• Help embed this new disclosure oversight capability, with a staggered implementation focusing on the highest priority disclosures.
• Perform regular peer reviews to understand competitor analysis and benchmarking of our disclosures.
• Assess, propose and draft disclosure enhancements, documenting the rationale.
• Ensure a single voice throughout sustainability disclosures.
• Enhance your ESG product understanding to support the disclosure review.
• Review ESG data validation performed and challenge the rationale behind movements to ensure appropriateness, based on external comparisons.
• Support transparent explanation of data methodologies, assumptions, and limitations.
• Act as a key step in the governance process of sustainability disclosures, prior to final approval and publication.
• Partner with regulatory change projects, working to implement new sustainability disclosures, and global stakeholders, working to complete annual disclosure updates.
• Support taking sustainability disclosures through appropriate governance forums.

What it takes:

• Previous experience in sustainability or ESG reporting, with a strong record managing regulatory disclosures (e.g., UK SDR, SDFR, CSRD, TCFD) in asset management or financial services.
• Diligent, with a high attention to detail, and committed to accuracy and quality.
• Skilled at writing and editing clear, concise reports and communications for technical and non‐technical audiences, and presenting complex information effectively to senior stakeholders and clients.
• Proven ability to build relationships and collaborate across teams, ensuring consistency and alignment in sustainability reporting.
• Highly organised, and good at managing and influencing stakeholders.
• Strategic thinker who connects interdependencies, navigates ambiguity, and engages with both the big picture and technical detail.
• Proactive self‐starter who identifies issues, escalates risks, and drives continuous improvement.

Special Factors:
