About the FAS Common Pipelines Team
With several existing legacy data sources, and new sources on the horizon, a technical strategy will be needed to determine the most effective approach for ingesting and consuming FAS data sources. Current pipelines include CRM, Adobe Analytics, ON24, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Future sources include additional Marketing Technologies such as Kaltura, Google Analytics, and social data, such as LinkedIn, etc.
The FAS Common Pipeline team will be co-led by the Technical Product Manager & Technical Lead (based in APAC) complimented by offshore engineering resources. You will be empowered to define the collaboration strategy, although it should be noted that flexibility to work real-time with APAC resources will be required.

About Vanguard

Vanguard is an investment company unlike any other. It was founded by Jack Bogle in the US in 1975 on a simple but revolutionary idea: that an investment company should manage its funds solely in the interests of its clients.  Jack helped bring investing to the masses with the index fund. Index funds do not pick individual shares or bonds to beat the market. They track the performance of the entire market.  Or as Jack put it, "Don't look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack!”.  We have stood for low-cost, uncomplicated investing ever since. Over the last 45 years people have come round to our way of thinking and more than 30 million investors worldwide now trust us with their money.
