The Finance Specialist Development Program is an approximately three-year rotational program designed to build broad financial experience, strategic perspective, and a strong network across Schwab. As a Finance Specialist, you will provide financial oversight and decision support through analysis, forecasting, reporting, and process improvement while collaborating with business partners, cross-functional teams, and Finance leadership. Your work will help leaders understand business trends, evaluate performance, and make informed decisions that support Schwab’s priorities.

Your first year will be with the Investor Services Enterprise Finance Consolidations team, where you will analyze financial and business data, support expense and metric forecasts, and communicate performance results to leadership. Future rotations may provide exposure to Central Finance, Treasury, Controllers, and the Finance Innovation Team, allowing you to develop experience across budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, balance sheet management, accounting, capital markets, securities lending, and the data and systems used throughout the Finance organization.

Throughout the program, you will balance analytical, project-oriented, reporting, and transactional responsibilities while learning how complex financial processes operate. You will use data to identify meaningful insights, solve problems independently, recommend improvements, and help create greater efficiency, scale, and transparency. Success will require sound decision making, attention to detail, curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to manage multiple priorities while building trusted relationships across teams and locations. After successful completion of the program, qualified Finance Specialists may have the opportunity to advance into a Senior Specialist role within Finance.
