Description du poste

At Vanguard, we're on a mission to give clients the best chance for investment success. We're seeking Financial Sales Consultants to build meaningful relationships with clients, help them navigate key financial decisions, and connect them with the right Vanguard products, services, and advice resources to meet their needs.

About the Role

• Educate clients about Vanguard solutions and connect them with specialists or advice professionals when appropriate.
• Use consultative sales skills to deepen relationships, support retention and growth, and guide next steps.
• Coordinate referrals and collaborate across Vanguard to deliver a positive client experience.
