SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

How Vanguard structures pay
Base salary with variable pay that its postings call incentive compensation or quarterly performance bonuses, a licensing bonus for inbound phone sellers who pass their exams, merit raises and a hybrid working model; the DCIO posting rules out visa sponsorship.
Vanguard pay from our research
Our researched figure (stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026) is Stated per posting. Pay is stated unevenly across the channels. The inbound sales consultant posting is the most complete: a base salary range, a one-time licensing bonus, extra hourly pay and a total first-year figure, all conditional on passing the required licensing exams and meeting performance expectations. The RIA hybrid sales executive posting prints a base range only, calls the variable pay significant and quotes the total yearly pay that successful sellers often reach, well above that base. Financial sales consultant postings name no figure but describe a base salary with performance-based incentive pay, quarterly performance bonuses and merit raises, and the DCIO, workplace direct sales and large market institutional postings sampled carry no figure at all. No posting gives a commission rate or an OTE. Ask what the variable pays on (new assets, net flows, retention or referrals to advice), how often it pays out, whether a referral that a specialist closes is credited to you, and whether the licensing bonus is clawed back if you leave early.
