Centralized Supervision Team Manager

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 Wealth and Product Risk & Governance organization helps Wealth & Advice Solutions understand and fulfill its risk, regulatory, and supervisory obligations. Within this organization, the Centralized Supervision team performs delegated supervisory reviews of activities conducted by registered professionals who support the Schwab Wealth Advisory offer.

As a Centralized Supervision Team Manager, you will lead and develop a team responsible for consistent, risk-based supervisory reviews across advisory recommendations, trading, electronic communications, financial planning, sales practices, and related business activities. Your leadership will help protect clients, strengthen supervisory programs, and turn regulatory expectations into practical oversight that supports responsible business growth.

This is an opportunity to combine people leadership, supervisory expertise, and cross-functional influence in meaningful work with broad visibility. You will help employees grow, guide complex decisions, identify emerging risks, and partner with leaders across Wealth & Advice Solutions, Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Product to improve how supervision is delivered.
