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.

Senior Manager of Financial Crimes Reporting will report directly to the Director of Business Operations and Reporting within the Financial Crimes Risk Management (FCRM) organization. The Senior Manager will play a critical role in leading FCRM reporting efforts, managing a risk metric program aligned with second‑line expectations, and ensuring clear and actionable insights are presented to governance committees and senior leadership.

This role focuses on the coordination, collection, and analysis of FCRM department metrics and compiling data for presentation to executive leadership and board‑level risk committees. The metrics and reports are subject to regulatory and internal audit review and serve to advise senior leadership of emerging focus areas. The Senior Manager will document unique trends that impact Fraud, BSA/AML, OFAC, and Conduct programs, think strategically about risk, and enhance analytics and metrics visualization for management reporting.

The role requires presenting findings concisely for executive consumption, strong risk‑management, governance, and stakeholder engagement skills, and working closely with first‑line risk teams and second‑line oversight functions.

• Develop and maintain executive‑level reports and dashboards for governance committees, risk working groups, and senior leadership discussions.
• Summarize complex data sets across multiple domains and communicate findings/formulate recommendations to senior leaders and business partners.
• Continuously improve reporting processes and quality to ensure the suite of reports is accurate, scalable, and actionable.
• Manage the risk metric program, ensuring alignment with second‑line risk standards and enterprise‑wide practices.
• Define, refine, track, and report on metrics (e.g., Key Risk indicators, RAMM, KRAM) that reflect risk exposure.
• Partner with first‑line risk and second‑line oversight functions to ensure data integrity, accuracy, and completeness of reporting.
• Provide ad‑hoc analysis on risk trends, emerging issues, and areas for improvement.
• Serve as a subject‑matter expert and trusted advisor on risk metrics and issue reporting topics.
• Other metric and reporting related activities.

To ensure that we have fulfilled our promise of “challenging the status quo,” this role has specific qualifications that successful candidates should have.

• 5–7 years of experience in an applicable risk‑management environment, preferably within financial crimes, with strong understanding of Fraud, AML, and Global Sanctions regulations.
• Current working experience with Schwab systems and processes.
• Experience in the financial services industry specifically working in a risk‑management function.
• Experience using SQL for extracting and joining large, complex datasets.
• Strong data visualization storytelling.
• Demonstrated leadership with the ability to influence and engage others to drive alignment towards business objectives.
• Results‑oriented and able to quickly sort through information and develop concise and clear strategies and actionable solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex issues, assess cross‑functional impacts, and develop roadmap‑driven solutions aligned to long‑term strategy, plus run multiple tasks and prioritize to meet target dates.
• Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
• A passion for financial crimes risk management and a desire to positively inspire change.
