Your opportunity

At Schwab, you’ll make an impact on your career while helping clients take ownership of their financial futures. In a collaborative, inclusive environment, you’ll build meaningful relationships, grow your skills, and contribute to a client-first culture that drives innovation.

As an Investment Consultant (IC) in Schwab’s Branch Network, you’ll take a critical first step on the path toward becoming a Financial Consultant. This role is designed for individuals who are motivated to learn, comfortable taking initiative, and excited to grow through hands-on experience.

You’ll develop core consulting skills through proactive client outreach, needs-based conversations, and solution positioning—while learning alongside experienced Financial Consultants who provide coaching, mentoring, and real-time feedback.

Start with Wealth Management University —a four-week, live virtual program designed to build your foundation for success.

Afterward, continue your development through hands-on training and mentorship in your branch, partnering with your manager, peers, and mentors for guidance aligned to your goals.

· Career Pathing

The Investment Consultant role provides a strong foundation for growth, with a clear path to a Financial Consultant position for those looking to deepen client relationships, business development skills, and financial expertise.

Schwab also supports a “choose your own adventure” approach—empowering you to explore leadership, expanded branch roles, or opportunities across service and support teams. You’ll be supported by leaders who invest in your growth and continuous development over time.
