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. 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(s).

Technology Risk Management (TRM), part of Corporate Risk Management (CRM), partners with technology and business teams to identify, assess, and manage risks associated with emerging technologies and critical business processes. This work helps ensure alignment with the firm’s risk appetite while protecting client assets, client information, and Schwab’s operational environment.

As a Senior Technology Risk Manager, you will play a critical role in protecting Schwab’s technology ecosystem by partnering with Corporate Risk Management, technology, security, and business teams to identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate technology risk. As a senior individual contributor within Technology Risk Management, you will provide independent oversight of enterprise technology and architecture processes, helping ensure technology initiatives align with the firm’s risk appetite, regulatory requirements, and operational resilience objectives.

This role requires a broad understanding of enterprise technology, architecture, infrastructure, cloud, application, and data platforms. Rather than serving as a hands-on technical specialist or general risk practitioner, you will evaluate technology initiatives, architectural decisions, and risk outcomes from a technical and oversight perspective, providing independent challenge and insight to support informed decision-making.

In this Technology Architecture Governance Risk (TAGR) role, you will evaluate the effectiveness of enterprise-wide frameworks and assess risks associated with technology strategies, architecture decisions, infrastructure platforms, and emerging technologies to help ensure responsible deployment and alignment with internal standards and applicable regulatory requirements. You will help stakeholders understand complex technology and architecture risk considerations, evaluate potential impacts to the organization, and support informed decision-making. Success requires the ability to synthesize technical information, understand technology at an enterprise level, provide strategic risk insights, challenge assumptions constructively, and influence action across a diverse group of partners and leaders.

You will help shape strategic and tactical initiatives that enhance risk management practices, operational resilience, and risk transparency while supporting compliance with industry regulations and evolving technology standards. This position offers the opportunity to influence sustainable change, strengthen enterprise risk capabilities, and help ensure the security, reliability, and resilience of Schwab's technology landscape.

• Experience developing risk reporting, metrics, dashboards, or executive-level governance materials.
• Experience developing and delivering risk reporting, metrics, analyses, or executive-level presentations that support decision-making.
• Working knowledge of technology risk management frameworks and industry standards, including NIST, COBIT, FFIEC, or similar guidance.
• Understanding of applicable regulatory, compliance, and legal requirements, including GDPR, PCI, FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, or comparable regulations.
• Demonstrated ability to identify, assess, prioritize, and communicate technology and operational risks through data-driven analysis and strategic recommendations.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills.
• Experience influencing stakeholders, collaborating effectively, and driving outcomes across multiple business functions, including technology, security, risk, compliance, and audit teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and executive audiences.
• Experience managing multiple priorities and delivering results in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.
• Ability to work independently and proactively with minimal direction.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business Risk Management, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Experience assessing compliance with technology policies, standards, controls, and governance requirements.
• Experience supporting operational resilience, cyber risk, incident management, or risk mitigation programs.

• Experience of data analysis, reporting, and visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms.
