How can I configure the vacuum to run after the daily batch insert/update?
Check out this:

By inserting the right row you can disable autovacuum to vacuum your big
tables, and then you can schedule vacuum nightly for those just as
before. There's still a benefit in that you don't need to care about
vacuuming the rest of the tables, which will be done just in time.
In addition autovacuum respects the work of manual or cron based
vacuums, so if you issue a vacuum right after a daily batch insert /
update, autovacuum won't repeat the work of that manual vacuum.
