Schwab Wealth Advisory is a fee based, non discretionary investment advisory solution built on trust, personalized service, and a fiduciary commitment to our clients. As a Sr. Manager, Wealth Advisor, you’ll manage ongoing client relationships, deliver holistic financial planning, and provide tailored investment guidance aligned to Schwab’s approach to investing.

You’ll collaborate closely with an experienced advisory team to support clients through complex financial decisions while helping them stay focused on long term goals.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a relationship driven environment, communicates with clarity and empathy, and takes ownership of client outcomes. Your work directly supports client confidence, long term retention, and advisory excellence.

• Coachability: Demonstrates a senior learning mindset by seeking input from peers and leaders, integrating feedback into measurable behavior changes, and sharing best practices—coaching others informally to raise advisory quality and client experience.
• Self-Awareness: Exercises sound judgment and risk awareness—recognizing when situations exceed scope or require additional expertise, surfacing concerns early, and escalating with clear context and options to protect the client experience and meet fiduciary and regulatory expectations.
