About the Role
The Senior IAM Control Sustainability and Assurance Specialist will strengthen the long-term effectiveness, resilience, and audit readiness of controls across Schwab’s Identity and Access Management program. You will translate audit, regulatory, policy, and standards-based requirements into practical control and evidence expectations while independently assessing control design, execution, and operating effectiveness. You will partner with control owners, technical teams, auditors, and leaders to identify risks, evaluate evidence quality, recommend corrective actions, and monitor remediation. You will help establish repeatable procedures, validation checks, health indicators, and assurance practices that improve consistency and identify control degradation early. Your work will also advance automation and process improvements across IAM control and audit workflows, reducing manual effort and strengthening accuracy, traceability, and resilience. Success requires sound judgment, thoughtful challenge, clear communication, and the ability to adapt priorities based on risk and business needs.
