Bringing Vanguard’s mission to life
At Vanguard, we are on a mission to take a stand for investors and give them the best chance of investment success.
As a content creator for Vanguard’s retail investor business, you’ll play a key role in bringing that mission to life – creating clear, engaging content that helps people understand investing, pensions and retirement, and broader personal finance topics.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
