About the role
We believe in the importance of in-office collaboration and fully intend for the selected candidate for this role to work on site in the specified location(s): Austin, Westlake, Orlando, Raleigh.
What You Will Do
- Lead strategic initiatives across the retail client experience: identify client pain points and opportunity areas as part of product launches, capability enhancements, or responses to identified issues within fraud prevention, authentication, and money movement
- Frame ambiguous problems and drive to insight: break down complex issues using a hypothesis-driven approach, structured analysis, and stakeholder validation, and then translate findings into clear, executive-ready recommendations
- Champion the client perspective: use voice-of-the-field and competitive intelligence to expose critical product gaps, size their impact, and shape decisions accordingly
- Partner across the firm to balance tradeoffs: work closely with product, service, risk, compliance, legal, operations, and technology teams to weigh opportunities, costs, benefits, and risks and align on the optimal client and business outcome
- Build compelling, decision-ready communications: construct a logical storyline and clear, concise deliverables that turn complexity into action and articulate the “so what”
- Lead day-to-day execution across multiple initiatives: drive timelines with tenacity and resourcefulness, anticipate program risks, flag issues early, and escalate as needed
- Influence outcomes without direct authority: facilitate meetings with senior stakeholders, align partners across businesses, build buy-in, and manage change to minimize resistance and sustain momentum
- Model a One Schwab approach: collaborate across the enterprise, contribute to team culture, and put clients’ interests first
Required Qualifications
