Job description

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.

A job with Creative Center (C2), Charles Schwab’s award-winning in-house agency, is a career with purpose. We’re on a mission to make our clients’ lives and futures better. When we tell clients, “Own your tomorrow,” we mean it—and we work with them to make it happen. Everything we do matters because we literally change lives. That’s a pretty cool thing to be able to say.

To change lives, we challenge conventions, so we need people willing to challenge themselves, and us. We need “get-it-done,” “what-if,” and “why-not” people. We don’t want people who see a glass as half-full, we want people who see it as full of potential. If you can get behind that, we can get behind you.

The Sr Specialist, Editorial & Copywriting plays a critical role in delivering clear, accurate, consistent, and compliant communications across Schwab’s marketing ecosystem. This role combines editorial expertise, copywriting, digital content knowledge, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration to elevate content quality and improve the client experience. The successful candidate will partner with writers, marketers, designers, program managers, content owners, Legal, Compliance, and Regulatory teams to ensure content meets business objectives while adhering to Schwab's voice, standards, and regulatory requirements.

• Apply systems thinking to connect content, processes, technology, and stakeholder needs across multiple channels and workstreams.


• Partner effectively across creative, marketing, product, technology, and governance teams to support evolving business priorities.


• Demonstrate continuous learning and adaptability by embracing emerging technologies, AI-enabled tools, content platforms, and evolving delivery models. Apply new knowledge to improve editorial quality, operational efficiency, scalable content practices, and cross-functional ways of working.
