You'll need to schedule the job as the appropriate user in terms of whoever is actually executing the code (whether it is via some sort of Visualforce UI or the user scheduling the Apex Job via the UI). The System.RunAs functionality only exists in unit tests.

    In other words, you have to login as that user and schedule it. I usually make a Visualforce page so they don't have to be administrators necessarily.

    I believe you'll need that user to visit the Visualforce page and click the button (or whatever mechanism you want to use that invokes the Apex code that schedules the job). You can alternatively have your users grant you login access and do it yourself, but you can't programmatically schedule a job as someone else via Apex.
