Manager Balance Sheet Strategy – Interest Rate Derivatives, Hedging and BDA Management

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.

The Balance Sheet Strategy team within Corporate Treasury leads firm-wide balance sheet management strategy, investment allocation and portfolio optimization, market risk management, funds transfer pricing (FTP), asset/liability management (ALM) derivatives hedging, and rates and funding execution. The team manages fixed-income investment portfolios across several legal entities totaling more than $250B and executes cash optimization and wholesale funding actions supporting approximately $500B of total balance sheet assets.

We also oversee off-balance-sheet derivatives portfolios, including ~$60B notional for interest rate risk (IRR) management and ~$75B in brokered deposit agreement notional investments.

This Manager role reports to the Senior Manager, Derivatives, Hedging, and BDA Management Lead. You will join a team of traders responsible for Corporate Treasury’s derivatives hedging program and management of third-party bank deposit account (BDA) sweep notional investments —supporting ALM objectives and mitigating interest rate risk arising from normal business activities across the firm.

You will shape and execute hedging strategy; perform daily trade execution; guide system implementation and testing; partner on hedge accounting (GAAP/ASC 815); and enhance reporting, controls, and governance. You will collaborate closely across Treasury and key partners including investment portfolio and funding traders, Financial Risk Management, Corporate Controllers, and Technology. As Corporate Treasury expands derivatives capabilities, you will help implement new hedging strategies and ALM initiatives while ensuring disciplined execution in a controlled environment across multiple legal entities.

You will deepen your expertise through a steady stream of complex, real-time market and balance sheet challenges—supported by leaders who value your contributions and invest in your development.
