Vanguard Group is publicly recruiting a digital assets director.

Golden Finance reported that on July 8, Vanguard Group's job posting showed it is hiring a Head of Digital Assets for its Personal Wealth business. The position requires over 10 years of relevant experience, a deep understanding of digital assets (tokenization, stablecoins, custody, settlement, etc.), as well as innovation and risk management capabilities in a regulatory environment.

The role will be responsible for developing Vanguard's strategy, roadmap, and execution in the digital asset space, including assessing digital asset capabilities, product development, operating models, and cross-functional collaboration with product, technology, operations, risk, legal, and compliance departments. It also requires external communication with industry participants, regulators, and clients on behalf of Vanguard.

It is reported that since December last year, Vanguard has allowed brokerage clients to trade crypto ETFs and mutual funds, but the company has explicitly stated that it has no plans to issue its own crypto investment products, believing that digital assets still do not align with its long-term investment philosophy.
