In Corporate Operational Risk, our purpose is to govern, oversee, and continually improve the operational risk program through supporting and challenging business partners and raising risk awareness and understanding to improve risk-based decision making. We look to minimize operational risk impacts across all of the firm and its subsidiaries and affiliates. We do this through fostering a risk culture consistent with the core values of the firm of loyalty, One Schwab, operating discipline and innovation.

Help Schwab strengthen how it protects and governs one of its most important assets: data.

As a Manager, Data Risk Analyst, you will help advance a practical, enterprise-wide approach to data governance risk. Working across Data Risk Management, Technology Risk Management, Data Governance, and business teams, you will bring visibility to existing and emerging risks, strengthen risk-based decisions, and help the firm respond as the data environment evolves.

This is an opportunity to build broad partnerships, contribute to high-visibility risk work, and grow your knowledge at the intersection of business, technology, data, and operational risk. Your perspective will help leaders understand where risk is changing, evaluate how effectively it is being managed, and improve the controls and practices that support Schwab and its clients.

In This Role You Will

• Partner with business leaders to identify, assess, and monitor data governance risks, including risks that are emerging as the business and technology landscape changes.
• Provide thoughtful, independent challenge on how business teams address data risk, helping strengthen decisions, controls, and accountability.
• Contribute a data risk perspective to cross-functional projects and product reviews so that risk considerations are understood early and addressed effectively.
• Build strong relationships across risk, control, technology, data governance, and business teams to support consistent and efficient execution across the firm.
• Help maintain the team resources and communication channels that keep partners informed and connected.
