About the Role

The Technology Incubation Leader is accountable for turning validated R&D concepts into enterprise-ready capabilities.

Responsibilities

Lead the dedicated incubation team responsible for Digital Assets Platform Engineering, GenAI, shared architecture/security/cloud enablement, and technical program execution.
Lead, mentor, and grow a multidisciplinary incubation organization, including engineers, architects, platform specialists, and technical program managers.
Build team capabilities, hiring strategies, and succession plans that support Schwab's emerging technology roadmap.
Own the roadmap for production-biased incubation initiatives, including platform architecture, delivery milestones, operational readiness, security reviews, and graduation criteria.
Partner with product, architecture, security, cloud, risk, legal, compliance, and business stakeholders to ensure incubation work is secure, scalable, and aligned to business value.
Create a disciplined operating model for intake, prioritization, delivery transparency, and adoption planning, and transfer readiness.
Collaborate with partner organizations to define and execute transition plans, including transfer of platforms, operational processes, documentation, support models, and, when appropriate, personnel necessary for long-term ownership.
Serve as the executive-facing owner for incubation status, risks, dependencies, investment needs, and measurable outcomes.
Ensure incubation initiatives progress against defined roadmaps, with clear production and transfer criteria.
Establish ownership, support models, and graduation paths for mature capabilities.
Provide executive stakeholders with transparent visibility into value delivered, risks, resourcing needs, and decisions required.

Ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives from concept through production readiness while balancing innovation speed with enterprise risk management.
