Sr Manager, Editorial & Copywriting (PL)

Your opportunity

A job with Creative Center (C2), Charles Schwab’s award-winning in-house agency, is a career with purpose. We’re on a mission to make our clients’ lives and futures better. When we tell clients, “Own your tomorrow,” we mean it—and we work with them to make it happen. Everything we do matters because we literally change lives. That’s a pretty cool thing to be able to say.

To change lives, we challenge conventions, so we need people willing to challenge themselves, and us. We need “get-it-done,” “what-if,” and “why-not” people. We don’t want people who see a glass as half-full, we want people who see it as full of potential. If you can get behind that, we can get behind you.

As an Associate Creative Director focused on narrative architecture and digital content, you’ll lead our writing craft into the AI era—ensuring content is strategically 'scannable' for engines without ever losing its human touch.
