You will foster alignment across stakeholders, drive transparency through meaningful delivery insights and metrics, and help teams continuously improve execution practices. As a trusted advisor to senior leaders, you will represent critical initiatives in governance forums, communicate risks and recommendations with clarity, and help balance strategic priorities with operational execution. 

This role also offers the opportunity to strengthen Schwab’s delivery culture and operating model. By mentoring program leaders, promoting Agile collaboration, and advancing delivery standards, you will help improve organizational effectiveness while empowering teams to deliver meaningful business value. Your ability to build collaborative relationships, exercise sound judgment, and lead through influence will help advance Schwab’s technology transformation efforts and contribute to our culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
