Director, Mobility & Executive Concierge Solutions Engineering We are seeking an experienced and visionary Director of Mobility & Executive Concierge Solutions Engineering to lead the strategy, architecture, and engineering of Vanguard’s mobile technology platform. This role owns two connected mandates: driving Vanguard’s mobile device capabilities at enterprise scale (iOS/iPadOS, Android, and tablet platforms managed through Microsoft Intune and Workspace ONE), and engineering the technology solutions that deliver a friction-free experience for senior executives who depend on iPads and mobile devices to lead the firm. The ideal candidate pairs deep modern-management and automation expertise with the architectural and product vision to design seamless, secure, executive-grade mobile solutions — all within a highly regulated, production-grade environment. In this role, you will: • Define and own the multi-year strategy and engineering roadmap for Vanguard’s mobile platform — iPhone, iPad, and Android — including modern management, security baselines, and a seamless user experience. • Engineer and advance mobile device capabilities: zero-touch provisioning, app lifecycle and configuration management, BYOD, Conditional Access, and zero-trust controls that protect the firm without burdening the user. • Design and develop the technology solutions that make the executive experience frictionless — automated configuration, integration, and self-healing capabilities that eliminate friction from how executives use iPads and mobile devices. • Architect and govern Mobile Device / Unified Endpoint Management (MDM/UEM) platforms — Microsoft Intune and Workspace ONE — ensuring compliance, resiliency, and a consistent experience across the mobile fleet. • Partner with Cybersecurity, Identity, and Risk to deliver secure-by-design mobile and executive solutions that meet regulatory and audit requirements while preserving a frictionless experience. • Drive automation and “infrastructure-as-code” practices across the mobile estate to scale capability delivery and reduce manual engineering effort. • Instrument the platform with telemetry, Digital Employee Experience (DEX) tooling, and fleet-health analytics so experience quality is engineered and measured, not assumed. • Govern high-risk change (OS upgrades, security baselines, major platform shifts) with disciplined, evidence-based controls that balance modernization velocity with stability. • Evaluate emerging mobile and endpoint technologies and incorporate them strategically into the workplace technology stack. • Lead, develop, and mentor a team of managers and engineers; build platform leaders, succession depth, and a culture of engineering ownership, reliability, and excellence. • Serve as a senior point of partnership and influence with executive stakeholders — communicating roadmap, technical risk, and investment needs in clear, business terms. What it takes: • Proven experience leading technical engineering teams at scale in mobility, endpoint, or workplace technology domains within a large, regulated enterprise. • Deep, hands-on engineering expertise in modern mobile management — iOS/iPadOS and Android — using Microsoft Intune and/or VMware/Omnissa Workspace ONE. • Demonstrated track record architecting and delivering mobile technology solutions for high-visibility or executive user populations, with measurable improvements in experience and reliability. • Strong command of mobile security and identity engineering: Conditional Access, zero-trust principles, app protection, device compliance, and Microsoft Entra (Azure AD). • Hands-on background in automation and scripting (PowerShell, Graph API) and modern engineering practices. • Experience governing change, risk, and resiliency in a production-grade, audit-sensitive environment. • Excellent executive communication, stakeholder management, and people-leadership skills. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience). Preferred Skills: • Experience engineering technology solutions for C-suite or board-level user populations, including travel-ready and event/briefing-center mobile capabilities. • Familiarity with the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint) and how mobile integrates into the modern workplace. • Advanced automation, API integration, and tooling skills to streamline provisioning, compliance, and reporting. • Knowledge of mobile telemetry, DEX platforms, and fleet-health analytics. • Experience in financial services or another highly regulated industry. • Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft 365 Certified, Apple Deployment/Device Management) are a plus.
