Your Opportunity

At Schwab, you are 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 Behavioral AI/ML Analytics (BAMA) team is looking for a dynamic, self‑motivated data scientist at the Senior Manager level. The BAMA team leverages predictive modeling and data science expertise to deliver new tools and capabilities that enhance Schwab’s ability to fight financial crime. BAMA supports fraud prevention and anti‑money laundering programs within Financial Risk Management (FRM) by building and maintaining predictive models and developing other advanced analytics solutions that solve problems and provide meaningful business value.

There’s no shortage of problems to solve, which allows BAMA numerous opportunities to make an impact.

As a Senior Manager, Data Scientist you will play a key role in helping to identify and understand FRM business needs, establishing yourself as a strategic, long‑term partner and not just a modeling service.
