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).

If you're passionate about enhancing the employee experience and helping organizations navigate change, join the Change Management Center of Excellence within the Strategy Enablement team in Human Resources. We enable enterprise transformation by helping employees and leaders adopt new ways of working, strengthen engagement, and build capabilities for long-term success.

As Manager, Change Management, you'll play a pivotal role in some of Schwab's most important initiatives. Partnering with HR and business leaders, you'll develop and execute strategies that drive lasting behavior change, from stakeholder assessments, impact analyses, and readiness evaluations to sponsorship and adoption plans. You'll lead multiple small to medium-scale initiatives and partner on larger cross-functional efforts, applying the Change COE's standard process, tools, and templates.

As a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, you'll provide strategic consulting throughout the change lifecycle, designing and delivering targeted interventions such as communications, training, engagement activities, and reinforcement plans. You'll work with leaders, project teams, and other Centers of Excellence to integrate change into the project plan, identify and mitigate risks and resistance, and measure adoption, readiness, and sustained results so you can adjust your approach and capture lessons learned.

You'll also promote repeatable, scalable change practices across Schwab, elevating the deliverables of peers and project partners to ensure quality and consistency with Change COE standards, sharing best practices, and coaching others throughout the Change@Schwab community.
