Your opportunity

Schwab Advisor Services, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. is the leading provider of custody, trading, technology and practice management to registered independent advisory firms (RIAs). It provides access to sophisticated wealth-management services that help advisors attract and retain affluent clients, as well as profitably grow, compete and succeed in their business efforts. Schwab Advisor Services serves over 16,000 independent advisory firms and supports over $5 trillion in assets on its custody platform.

The Business Consulting and Education (BCE) team creates and delivers high-quality, industry-leading consulting and education programs that help advisors better manage their businesses in addition to helping them plan and prepare for the future. The key to the team’s success lies in its ability to create highly relevant and scalable programs that turn practice management insights into actionable plans that advisors can implement in their firms. These programs are delivered by a nationwide team of experienced consultants who work closely with advisors and their Schwab relationship managers to understand the firm’s challenges and areas of opportunity and then map a path forward.

Programs developed and managed by BCE include the annual Charles Schwab RIA Benchmarking Study, immersive multi-week ‘Insight to Action’ consulting programs, the Schwab Executive Leadership Program, Schwab Advisor University, The RIA Manager Advancement Program, and the RIA Intern Program.

The ideal candidate will be a prolific and talented long-form content creator who will help establish and maintain a leadership voice in the industry about practice management issues relevant to an advisory firm’s success. This senior manager will research topics, develop a deep understanding of RIAs and the issues they face, develop a point of view, collaborate with colleagues and senior leaders to refine the point of view, and will thrive in a highly iterative environment.
