This is just my opinion.

MAIN (as a truly demented sociopath): He would try to wipe out any Dust businesses in all of Remnant covertly while maintaing a good public image. This would require the world of Remnant to rely SOLELY on the Schnee Dust Company and get more workers to put under his thumb. He would also try to kidnap Weiss and get rid of her friends as a way of 'punishing' her. He would then arrange for her to marry someone who is just as despicable of Jacques. He would give her the choice of either marrying that person or being truly imprisoned in the Schnee Manor. He would be willing to do anything to maintain and gain more power, even if it meant spiraling the rest of Remnant into poverty and chaos.

MAJOR: He would stumble upon Salem's existence (I don't know how, just bear with me). Her associates would suggest killing him, but as she says "Never underestimate the usefulness of others". Salem would promise him power over Atlas if he helped make the Kingdom vulnerable enough for her attack on Atlas Academy. This would be possible due to his influence and status as the President of the SDC. Jacques would stop productions of Dust until Ironwood deactivates the lockdown. Eventually, seeing how Atlas's economy is suffering without Dust production, Ironwood is pressured into reopening Atlas's borders. He takes this to the council and is overruled, allowing Atlas to reopen their borders. This allows Adam Taurus to secretly bring the White Fang into Atlas, disguised as refugees from Vale and Mistral. Jacques does what he can to draw attention away from the possibility of an attack on the Academy, unaware that Salem doesn't plan to uphold her promise. As redemption for failing to capture Ruby, she dispatches Tyrian to kill Jacques the day the Academy is attacked.
