Head of Client Care

　　Each day, Personal Investor experiences thousands of client errors that have the propensity to erode client satisfaction, damage trust, and impede our scalability and client experience pillars of our Personal Investor strategy. Handling these issues swiftly and with care is vital to maintaining our client relationships and, ultimately, achieving our mission at Vanguard. Our Client Care organization serves as this critical function on behalf of Personal Investor to restore client trust through error and complaint resolution.

　　This 350-person organization is comprised of three groups: Case Management Services, Client Corrections and Response and Executive Correspondence and Complaints, each led by a senior manager that reports directly to our Head of Client Care, who serves as a central figure across Personal Investor. Errors from every client segment flow through Client Care, as well as urgent correspondence directly from senior staff. The Head of Client Care is responsible for overseeing this function in its entirety, managing a $45M P&L, working directly with Senior Staff and partnering with OGC and regulators on highly sensitive client issues. In addition, the Head of Client Care serves as a leader on our Incident Response team, resolving our most urgent and impactful issues and working directly with Personal Investor T1 and senior groups across the Enterprise to restore functions and reduce reputation and financial impact. The Head of Client Care will report directly to the Head of Operational Excellence and sit on Operational Excellence Team One, setting the vision and strategy for a new organization within Personal Investor that will resolve errors at their root and drive our client experience and scale agendas.

　　To be successful in this function, this leader will need to showcase: strong operational leadership, with the ability to manage and drive a productive and fiscally-responsible organization; executive presence and experience presenting at senior tables; the ability to manage under pressure; have experience leading strategic, transformational programs as we drive change in error resolution across the division; and have strong interpersonal relationships across Personal Investor, leading a function that serves all of the division.
