The Role

Are you an organized, detail‑oriented early‑career professional who enjoys keeping teams running smoothly? Do you take pride in strong communication, thoughtful scheduling, and supporting others in meaningful work? If you’re ready to grow your career while supporting innovative Data Analysts in a fast‑paced IT environment, this could be a great next step.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Administrative Associate to support a team of IT Data Analysts who solve complex problems and deliver insights that matter. In this role, you’ll be a trusted partner—keeping calendars aligned, priorities on track, and day‑to‑day operations running seamlessly.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who has hands‑on administrative, leadership, or scheduling experience and wants exposure to a professional IT environment with room to learn and grow.

What You’ll Do

Stay Organized & On Track

  • Manage calendars, files, records, and digital documentation with accuracy and care

  • Track deadlines, action items, and follow‑ups to ensure nothing falls through the cracks

  • Maintain orderly systems that help the team stay focused and productive

Communicate with Confidence

  • Draft and manage professional emails, correspondence, and basic reports

  • Communicate clearly and respectfully with team members, leaders, and partners

  • Listen closely to requests, ask clarifying questions, and anticipate needs

Manage Time & Priorities

  • Balance multiple priorities while staying calm and adaptable

  • Respond effectively to changing deadlines and urgent requests

  • Proactively schedule and coordinate meetings to support team leaders

Use Technology Effectively

  • Work confidently in Microsoft M365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams)

  • Manage calendars, meeting tools, virtual links, and shared files

  • Maintain digital documents and collaborate using file‑sharing platforms

Coordinate Scheduling & Logistics

  • Schedule meetings, reserve rooms, manage agendas, and prepare materials

  • Coordinate virtual meetings and in‑person logistics

  • Support basic travel, expense, and event coordination as needed

What We’re Looking For:

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong organization skills and attention to detail

  • Clear written and verbal communication abilities

  • Ability to manage time, prioritize tasks, and handle shifting requests

  • Comfort using Microsoft Office / M365 tools

  • Experience scheduling meetings or coordinating logistics (academic, volunteer, or professional experience welcomed)

  • At least 2 years of administrative or related experience, ideally in a medium to large organization

Nice to Have

  • Early leadership experience (office coordination or similar)
  • Exposure to professional or corporate environments
  • Interest in technology, data, or IT‑related work
  • Experience supporting teams rather than working independently
Why You’ll Enjoy This Role:
  • Entry‑level role with meaningful responsibility and visibility
  • Support collaborative, analytical teams doing impactful IT work
  • Build professional skills in communication, organization, and coordination
  • Gain experience in a structured environment with supportive leaders

If you’re ready to bring your organizational strengths, scheduling skills, and positive energy to a role where your work truly supports others, we’d love to hear from you.

Vanguard Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Vanguard and has not been reviewed or approved by Vanguard.

  • Retirement Support Retirement support appears unusually strong through a 401(k) design that includes a match plus an additional employer contribution, which can materially lift long-term total rewards. HSA seeding and an enhanced employer match further strengthen the savings-and-benefits value of the package.
  • Wellbeing & Lifestyle Benefits Wellbeing and lifestyle support is reinforced by a sizable annual FlexFund stipend that can be applied across many day-to-day categories such as fitness, childcare, and other personal expenses. On-site or virtual clinics and fitness options add practical health and wellness convenience.
  • Affordable Benefits Healthcare and related benefits are positioned as comparatively affordable via heavily subsidized medical plans and broad coverage options. This affordability can offset moderate base pay for employees who place higher value on out-of-pocket cost reductions.
