Your opportunity

Schwab's purpose is to help everyone become financially fit. Over the last thirty years, Schwab has grown from a brokerage house into one of the nation's leading financial institutions.

The Enterprise Technology & Infrastructure organization at Schwab is comprised of centralized teams that support Schwab business goals through the delivery of technology, operations, projects, business continuity and offshore management. The focus is on maximizing operating leverage by integrating functions, increasing productivity, and gaining efficiencies in order to better position Schwab to compete in the marketplace and to reinvest in areas that matter most to our clients.

Summary and Responsibilities:

Endpoint Engineering, as part of Schwab Technology Services (STS) provides our users over 75k endpoints spread out across 8 different platform types (Virtual, Physical, Cloud) and operating systems. This role focuses on leading endpoint performance and optimization, reporting and resolving issues before users call into the helpdesks.

The ideal candidate would have deep knowledge of the environment and tools that provide visibility into performance metrics, playing a primary role in the daily management of the proactive workload coming from data gathered. The candidate would work directly with Engineering, Operations, and Support teams to parse solutions across the teams. It's also expected that the candidate would work with Service Owners, Application owners, and Cyber and Network partners to advocate for a premium user experience.

The role will require a self-organized and self-driving individual with a passion to provide efficiencies for the end user. After significant investment in tooling, the candidate will be asked to usher partners to leverage the reporting and solutions we can provide. A high level of socialization will be needed to help organize stakeholders' cooperation and drive change in how and when they respond to known issues.

Documentation of ROI from the tool is critical to this role as we eliminate cycles, processes, and even helpdesk calls before they occur. Ensuring we capture these gains as we eliminate reactive excess are crucial metrics to illustrate the tool's benefit. Coaching and training is equally important as we provide front line support teams with more clarity, speed, and ability to fix issues quicker.
