Chief Intelligence Solution Architect: shape next‑gen intelligence systems for Personal Wealth and USDI at Vanguard, hybrid role in Malvern, PA.
Lead ecosystem integration, AI/ML analytics, digital product enablement, governance, and cross‑functional collaboration to drive decision intelligence.
Chief Intelligence Solution Architect
We are seeking an S5 Chief Intelligence Solution Architect to define and integrate the next generation of intelligence systems that power decisions across the Personal Wealth (PW) business and U.S. Direct Investor (USDI) CX domains.
This leader will operate within a mature and evolving ecosystem of existing analytic solutions, intelligence products, and digital experiences—aligning and advancing them into a cohesive, scalable intelligence architecture across PW and USDI.
The role is accountable for ensuring that analytics, AI, and data capabilities are intentionally designed to feed, enable, and scale digital products that deliver intelligence to business crews, product owners, analysts, clients, and AI agents.
Why This Role Matters
Personal Wealth and USDI already have strong analytic capabilities and emerging intelligence products. The opportunity—and challenge—is to connect them into a unified system.
This role ensures that analytics becomes the engine powering digital products, client experiences, and AI-driven decisions across PW and USDI, unlocking greater scale, consistency, and business impact.
PW & USDI Intelligence Architecture (Integrate, Not Replace)
Define and evolve the end-to-end architecture for intelligence systems across PW and USDI, spanning data, analytics, AI/ML, and decision layers
Recognize and leverage existing analytic solutions and products, aligning them into a unified ecosystem rather than rebuilding in isolation
Establish standards for semantic consistency, data models, and reusable intelligence components
Solution Alignment & Ecosystem Orchestration
Act as the architectural integrator across multiple analytic solutions and platforms, ensuring they connect, interoperate, and compound value
Align roadmaps so that existing and new analytic solutions intentionally produce outputs (signals, insights, predictions) that feed into shared intelligence and digital products
Promote modular, interoperable design patterns to reduce fragmentation
Digital Product Enablement
Partner with digital and product teams to identify, formalize, and scale intelligence-enabled digital products
Ensure analytic and AI systems are architected to directly support digital product delivery, not just offline analysis
Design pipelines and interfaces that enable real‑time or near real‑time intelligence delivery into products and workflows
Roadmap Integration & Strategy
Own the integrated architecture roadmap across PW and USDI, aligning:
- Analytic solution roadmaps
- Platform and engineering investments
- Digital product delivery timelines
Ensure investments are coordinated and sequenced to maximize business impact
Decision Intelligence Enablement
Drive the shift from fragmented insights to connected, decision‑oriented intelligence systems
Ensure outputs are standardized, explainable, and actionable, enabling both human and AI‑driven decisions
Embed intelligence into operational workflows, client journeys, and automated systems
Cross‑Functional Leadership
Partner across analytics, engineering, product, UX, and business leadership
Influence stakeholders to move from solution‑level optimization to ecosystem‑level value creation
Advance intelligence maturity and integration across PW and USDI
Governance, Scalability, and Trust
Establish frameworks for governance, reuse, and lifecycle management of intelligence assets
Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with domain standards
Promote consistency in how intelligence is defined, measured, and consumed
What Success Looks Like
Existing analytic solutions are intentionally connected into a coherent intelligence ecosystem, not siloed
Digital products consistently draw from shared, trusted intelligence layers
Clear lineage from data → analytics → intelligence → product/decision experience
Measurable improvement in decision quality, speed, and adoption across crews, clients, and AI agents
Qualifications
10+ years in analytics, AI/ML, data architecture, or solution architecture
Experience in complex, multi‑solution environments, aligning across platforms, teams, and business domains
Proven ability to drive roadmap alignment and integration at scale
Product & Delivery Leadership
Strong product management mindset, with experience translating business needs into scalable, user‑oriented solutions
Demonstrated project/program management capability to lead complex, cross‑functional initiatives with multiple dependencies
Ability to manage end‑to‑end solution lifecycle from concept through delivery and adoption
Technical Consulting & Execution
Strong background in technical consulting, solution design, and delivery execution in analytics or AI environments
Ability to bridge business, product, and engineering perspectives, ensuring solutions are both technically sound and outcome‑driven
Experience delivering production‑grade analytics/AI capabilities embedded in digital products
Technical & Functional Expertise
Deep understanding of data ecosystems, analytics pipelines, AI/ML systems, and digital product integration
Experience with API‑driven, modular, and platform‑based architectures
Strong grasp of analytics as a driver of product experiences and client value, not just reporting
Leadership & Influence
Ability to align and simplify across highly distributed teams and solutions
Strong executive communication and cross‑functional influence
Track record of driving coherence from fragmented capabilities
