Sr Specialist, Editorial & Copywriting

Your Opportunity

At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together.

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.

A job with Creative Center (C2), Charles Schwab’s award-winning in-house agency, is a career with purpose. We’re on a mission to make our clients’ lives and futures better. When we tell clients, “Own your tomorrow,” we mean it—and we work with them to make it happen. Everything we do matters because we literally change lives. That’s a pretty cool thing to be able to say.

To change lives, we challenge conventions, so we need people willing to challenge themselves, and us. We need “get-it-done,” “what-if,” and “why-not” people. We don’t want people who see a glass as half-full, we want people who see it as full of potential. If you can get behind that, we can get behind you.

The Sr Specialist, Editorial & Copywriting plays a critical role in delivering clear, accurate, consistent, and compliant communications across Schwab’s marketing ecosystem.
