Data Project Administrator, Vanguard, Valley Forge, PA


Position Type: Full Time
Description:
Vanguard, one of the world's leading investment management companies, seeks an experienced Data Project Administrator to execute and own all aspects of data-related projects for Implementation Services.

You'll consult with clients to assess data needs and implement plans for system redesigns, full-scale data cleanup (in client HRIS and payroll systems, and Vanguard's recordkeeping system), and conversions. You'll develop the data requirements document that serves as a framework for each implementation project. You'll work extensively with the prior record keeper, payroll vendor, and client to resolve data issues and manage timeframes for implementation projects. You'll discuss data workflow and exchange processes with internal clients, including Recordkeeping Services, Client Services, Participant Education, Risk, Treasury, IT, and DTS. Acting as the primary contact for a number of internal external clients and vendors, you'll identify data issues that may impact the successful implementation of conversions and recommend solutions.

You'll develop, monitor and own project plans and schedules for ongoing client data exchanges for new plans, and manage changes to the client data exchange. You'll analyze the initial population of data for conversion and new service implementation projects. You'll work with Participant Education to ensure that all service related-participant communication is updated and accurate, and recommend system changes that will simplify data for participants.

Using existing data management tools and techniques, you'll facilitate the conversion of client information into Vanguard's systems. You'll also develop new tools and techniques to analyze data, meet client's needs, maintain the integrity of the data, and build consistency. You'll coordinate the project team's knowledge of control totals and data reconciliations from test and live records. You'll be expected to show leadership among peers, and to proactively assist with issue resolution, mentoring, and training.

Position Qualifications:
