This division acts as an in-house agency, so this position was ideal for individuals looking for their first move client-side who were already operating at Account Director level. The need was also quite urgent, and somebody needed to be operating in the role as soon as possible. Our Solution Given our background working with the FT, we were able to accurate convey their culture to prospective candidates and consisting of profiles varying in skillset and seniority in just over a week. Most candidates had a notice period of three months, so we also submitted interim options to provide hands on experience while the successful candidates fulfilled their notice.

Following the hire of the UK Marketing head, the firm decided to build out the business and hire a senior marketing manager to lead tactical and strategic marketing for the business. As many who know Vanguard know well, the culture piece is extremely prominent in all hiring that they undertake across the business. This being a new in the business, coupled with the quite select experience across both the marketing and client streams, the search was fairly specific in its ask. Although a “complication” many would like to have, Vanguard’s reputation and standing in the market ensured that interest in the role was overwhelming, meaning the team had to have a very strong appreciation of the business, wider team and specific requirements of the new business Head. Our Solution Carter Murray worked closely with the UK Distribution team to identify competencies and soft behaviours required for the role. The process approach was very much guided by the competencies and skill set outlined by the business stakeholders. The team mapped Vanguard’s competitors in the asset management space, detailing those with specific fund competencies and experience and those considered leaders amongst their peers in their field, at this level. Carter Murray assessed and interviewed each candidate, cross referencing identified skill sets as and when necessary. The Result Having reviewed 8 profiles, Vanguard took 4 candidates to initial stages, 2 to final stages and 1 to offer stage, who, despite various offers, was delighted to progress their career at Vanguard. It was clear that Carter Murray’s appreciation of Vanguard’s ethos, culture and unique position in the market led to the successful hire.
