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 Treasury Capital Management team is seeking a Manager, Capital Governance & Controls to help establish and mature first-line governance, control, and documentation standards across the capital management lifecycle. In this highly visible role, you will connect people, processes, and control partners to strengthen how critical capital activities are documented, governed, and sustained.

This is an opportunity to help build a new capability while gaining broad exposure across capital management, governance, controls, operational resilience, and regulatory readiness. Your work will help improve execution discipline, clarify accountability, strengthen evidence standards, and prepare the organization for audit, regulatory, and business continuity needs.

You will collaborate with partners across Risk Management, Internal Audit, Regulatory Reporting, Legal, Accounting, and Technology. If you enjoy bringing structure to complex work, influencing across teams, and creating practical solutions that support long-term resilience, this role offers meaningful work and the opportunity to grow your impact as part of One Schwab.

This is a first-line role focused on governance execution, control readiness, process discipline, and operational resilience.

• Maintain an end-to-end inventory of critical capital processes, risks, controls, evidence, and key dependencies across the capital management lifecycle.
• Establish practical, sustainable control and documentation standards that promote consistency and support regulatory and audit readiness.
• Coordinate control-readiness activities with Risk Management, Internal Audit, Regulatory Reporting, Legal, Accounting, and Technology risk and control partners.
• Facilitate periodic process, risk, and control assessments to identify documentation gaps, control weaknesses, operational dependencies, and opportunities to improve resilience.
• Partner with process owners and stakeholders to clarify accountability, strengthen evidence practices, and advance sustainable remediation.
• Prepare clear, executive-ready reporting on process health, remediation status, documentation completeness, and control-readiness priorities.
• Help build a culture of thoughtful governance, shared accountability, continuous improvement, and collaboration across the capital management lifecycle.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in a regulated Financial Services, Treasury, Finance, or related environment.
• Strong process documentation and control-design skills, including the ability to translate complex activities into clear process flows, control points, evidence expectations, and ownership models.
• Strong written communication and governance documentation skills, with the ability to produce concise, executive-ready materials.
• Demonstrated ability to build relationships and influence process owners, business partners, and control stakeholders without direct authority.
• Comfort working in a highly regulated environment with close attention to governance, accountability, documentation, and sustainable outcomes.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, identify risks and dependencies, and move work forward in a structured and transparent manner.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Treasury, capital management, capital planning, regulatory reporting, bank regulatory, or finance controls roles.
• Knowledge of bank regulatory expectations related to governance, controls, documentation, evidence management, and sustainable remediation.
• Familiarity with capital processes, forecasts, governance committees, control inventories, change control, or regulatory reporting processes.
