Description

Your Opportunity

Schwab Advisor Services (AS), a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., is the leading provider of custody, trading, technology, and practice management services to independent registered investment advisors (RIAs). RIAs choose independence because they are determined to take charge of their future. They want the freedom to serve their clients without compromise and to control their destiny as business owners. And like them, Schwab believes in doing the right thing for investors - it's a basic shared value.

The Business Consulting and Education (BCE) team is part of Schwab Advisor Services and creates and delivers industry-leading consulting, benchmarking, and education programs that help advisors achieve their goals and gain competitive advantage. Its extensive offer includes the RIA Benchmarking Study, immersive multi-week 'Insight to Action' consulting programs, the Schwab Executive Leadership Program and more. BCE programs are developed by a skilled program team and delivered by a nationwide team of experienced consultants. The team's success is grounded in its deep expertise in core business issues firms face and its ability to create highly relevant and scalable programs that convert insights into actions that advisors can implement in their firms.

Your primary responsibility is to guide RIAs through the process of envisioning, designing, and implementing technology strategies that support their ideal client and staff experience.
