We focus on our clients' overall financial needs, with consideration and respect for their total relationship with Wells Fargo.

About this role:
Wells Fargo is seeking a Lead Securities Product Manager to work in the eMacro Product organization, focused on Rates e-trading. This role sits at the intersection of electronic Trading, Sales, Quant, and Technology, with accountability for shaping a commercially driven product agenda and bringing structure, focus, and momentum to a complex and fast-moving book of work.
The ideal candidate combines strong knowledge of Rates market structure with the ability to set direction, influence stakeholders, and turn ambiguity into a clear execution path. This is a business-facing product leadership role, not a pure delivery or requirements function.
In this role, you will:

• Partner closely with Rates Trading, Quant, Sales to identify, prioritize, and advance initiatives that drive client adoption, market relevance, and revenue growth across Rates e-trading.
• Own and evolve the eRates product narrative - articulating where the platform is going, why it matters commercially, and how individual initiatives support broader business objectives.
• Develop a deep understanding of client trading workflows, distribution models, and liquidity dynamics, translating those insights into product direction and investment focus.
• Shape and maintain a coherent, outcome-oriented development agenda, ensuring effort is focused on the highest-impact business opportunities.
• Bring order to a diverse and evolving set of demands by establishing clear priorities, sequencing decisions, and trade-offs, informed by commercial value and execution reality.
• Act as a point of synthesis across disparate inputs from Trading, Sales, Quants, and Technology-aligning stakeholders around a shared set of goals and expectations.
• Serve as a trusted partner to stakeholders, facilitating productive dialogue, resolving competing priorities, and driving timely decisions.
• Represent the eRates Product in forums to communicate progress, challenges, and strategic intent with clarity and credibility.
• Build strong working relationships with Technology leadership to ensure delivery capacity is aligned with business priorities and strategic direction.
• Work alongside engineering teams to ensure product initiatives are well-understood, commercially grounded, and realistically scoped.
• Provide ongoing guidance to keep initiatives aligned with intended business outcomes as market conditions, priorities, and constraints evolve.
• Maintain appropriate awareness of risk, controls, and governance expectations relevant to electronic trading platforms.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of Securities Product Management experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

Desired Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in financial markets, with a strong background in Rates Trading or Electronic Rates Sales.
• Proven ability to operate effectively in a matrixed environment, influencing outcomes across Trading, Sales, Quant, and Technology without direct authority.
• Familiarity with the Agile Software Development Process, including collecting business requirements, managing scrum teams, and scoping storypoints for work efforts
• Understanding of Jira ticketing system and associated reporting
• Strong commercial judgment, structured thinking, and the ability to navigate ambiguity.
• Experience in a customer-facing, risk, or trading strategy role prior to moving into product, business management, or platform leadership.
• Prior exposure to technology delivery teams, with an understanding of how large-scale trading platforms are built and evolved (hands-on coding not required).
• Track record of bringing focus and discipline to complex initiatives while maintaining strong stakeholder engagement.
