Director - Content Marketing (PL)

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're seeking a Director of Content & Social Marketing to set the vision, strategy, and creative direction for Schwab's presence on the social and video-sharing platforms shaping how investors learn today. In this role, you’ll both steward an industry-leading YouTube channel and build a new TikTok channel from the ground up — defining the editorial point of view, quality bar, and content franchises from day one.

Within our Insights & Education Content organization, you'll be accountable for the long-term strategy of these platforms—along with the Insights & Education site—and the multi-format content that powers them, including video, online courses, social, and other emerging formats. You'll lead and grow a team of talented content producers, setting creative standards and providing nurturing feedback and development opportunities.

Responsibilities include:

• Define the vision and long-term strategy for our company-owned YouTube and TikTok channels, including the editorial calendar, content franchises, and formats that will grow audience and engagement.
• Oversee the creation of investor education and market commentary content across video, editorial, social, online courses, and other multimedia assets.
• Lead and inspire a world-class creative team of producers, editors, and content creators to deliver best-in-class education and market commentary.
• Foster a culture of creative excellence, collaboration, and client advocacy.
• Set and uphold creative standards by bringing a clear point of view on what "great" looks like across every format and platform.
• Partner across the marketing ecosystem, working closely with Corporate Affairs on social media planning and community management, and Corporate Marketing on paid media and influencer partnerships.
• Own content performance and analytics, using data to measure impact, optimize what we publish, and inform what we create next.
• Manage our library of content and lead media governance, ensuring audit controls, compliance requirements, and documentation are in place across channels, markets, and partners.
