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).

The Asset Liability Management and Market Risk Modeling team within Corporate Treasury develops and maintains models that inform financial forecasting, market risk measurement, capital stress testing, and balance sheet strategy. As a Manager, ALM & Market Risk Modeling, you will serve as an individual contributor supporting fixed-income and mortgage modeling capabilities used to evaluate investment securities, loans, structured products, spreads, accumulated other comprehensive income, capital, and net interest income.

In this role, you will execute, monitor, test, and enhance AD&Co models and related analytics for agency and non-agency mortgage products, prepayment behavior, credit performance, asset-backed securities, option-adjusted spreads, fair value, income, and capital stress scenarios. You will apply analytical thinking and sound decision-making to assess model performance, investigate changes in results, conduct backtesting and benchmarking, and strengthen documentation, controls, and issue remediation.

Your work will help Schwab produce controlled, reliable, and insightful modeling outputs that support business-as-usual forecasting, market risk management, capital planning, and investment portfolio decisions. You will collaborate across Treasury, Finance, Investments, Risk, Capital Planning, and Model Risk Oversight, adapting your approach as priorities and market conditions evolve while clearly communicating model results, key drivers, production status, and emerging risks.
