Capm Certified Associate In Project Management Jobs in Irving, TX

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 Schwab Technology Services (STS) Portfolio & Project Management organization partners with business and technology leaders to prioritize and deliver strategic initiatives that drive meaningful outcomes across the enterprise.

As a Senior IT Project Manager Lead, you will provide leadership for large-scale, high-visibility cross-enterprise programs and projects that support business transformation, technology enablement, and operational excellence. This role is being hired primarily to support a major integration initiative, a critical modernization effort and key dependency for Schwab's broader broker-dealer modernization strategy.

We are seeking a senior-level IT Project Manager who can immediately step into a complex, highly visible modernization initiative and provide leadership, structure, and execution oversight. More than a traditional project manager, you will navigate ambiguity, influence across multiple teams, organize large bodies of work, and drive alignment within a challenging enterprise environment. Success requires the ability to bring clarity to complex initiatives, establish governance, manage competing priorities, and effectively engage stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

In this role, you will work across a highly matrixed environment to bring together business stakeholders, technology teams, product leaders, and senior executives to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver measurable value. You will influence decision-making, drive planning and execution across multiple workstreams, identify and mitigate risks, and provide visibility into progress and outcomes.

Success in this role requires exceptional project and program leadership, strong executive communication skills, the ability to navigate uncertainty, and a passion for solving complex business challenges. You will help cultivate a culture of transparency, collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and Agile delivery while mentoring team members and promoting best practices in project, portfolio, and organizational change leadership. Through your work, you will directly impact Schwab's ability to execute strategic initiatives, accelerate modernization efforts, optimize technology investments, and deliver innovative solutions that support our clients and business partners.
