Your Opportunity

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.
The Enhanced Due Diligence Team (EDD) serves an integral role within the Financial Crimes Risk
Management (FCRM) organization at Schwab. The EDD team is responsible for promoting FCRM’s
vision to be the most trusted leader in financial crimes risk management. We achieve this by
detecting, reporting, and protecting against financial crimes threats to effectively mitigate risk. More
specifically, the EDD team is responsible for upholding FinCEN’s requirements for each covered
financial institution to implement and maintain appropriate risk-based procedures for conducting
ongoing customer due diligence, to include understanding the nature and purpose of the customer
relationships; and conducting ongoing monitoring to identify and report suspicious transactions; and,
on a risk-based basis, to maintain and update customer information.
We are currently seeking a Senior Team Manager (people leader) who can motivate, inspire, and
develop a diverse team responsible for meeting Schwab’s regulatory requirements as a covered
financial institution. The ideal candidate will drive production and quality standards and provide
appropriate coaching to a team that produces Enhanced Due Diligence and Periodic Review memos for
each client scored as high risk. The successful candidate will act as an Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
subject matter expert and foster an environment that creates process efficiencies by leading project
initiatives. The preferred candidate will also develop partnerships across FCRM, and with internal
business partners such as the Complex Business Solutions Team, the Organization Account Resource
and Risk Group, Retail Supervision and Risk Management, and others.
