About this role:  

We are seeking a Senior Business Execution Consultant to join the Branch Distribution Strategy & Operations team in a hybrid strategy, analytics, and data engineering role. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys shaping business strategy while also building the data foundations required to deliver it. In this role, you will influence the retail distribution strategy for one of the nation’s largest banks. You will uncover insights that drive executive decisions and ensure we maintain a robust, well governed data environment. If you excel at translating technical solutions into business outcomes—and have experience designing or improving production grade data pipelines—we would love to hear from you. This position shapes decisions, not just datasets. You will own the full path from problem framing → data engineering → analysis → insight → recommendation → measured business impact. You will pair hypothesis driven strategic thinking and executive storytelling with hands-on SQL/Python and modern data tooling to build clean, scalable datasets and decision grade analytics. 

This role has a significant data engineering component. You will help define and implement data architecture standards, optimize pipelines, enhance data quality, and ensure the data powering our decision-making is durable, trustworthy, and ready for scaled use. This is not a pure data engineering or pure reporting role. We are looking for a strategist who can dig into the data, engineer the right solutions, and use them to drive meaningful business decisions. Learn more about the career areas and lines of business at wellsfargojobs.com.
