Manager Data Management

About the role

Within Schwab Data, the Data Risk Enhancement team strengthens the firm’s ability to proactively identify, prioritize, and mitigate data risk. The team focuses on making data risk visible and actionable by leveraging data lineage and related insights to illuminate how data flows across the firm, where risk concentrates, and where intervention will have the greatest impact. Acting as a first line of defense, the team partners closely with data, analytics, and AI professionals to ensure data risks are understood in context and addressed in a way that supports both safety and business outcomes.

In this role, you will support data risk initiatives by helping analyze data flows, document lineage, and surface risk insights that inform prioritization and remediation efforts. You will work collaboratively with business and technology partners to understand how data is used across processes, contribute to assessments of data risk exposure, and help translate findings into clear reporting and tracking. This role offers the opportunity to build hands-on experience in data risk, data governance, and data lineage, while learning how these disciplines come together to strengthen Schwab’s data risk posture.
