Wells Fargo is seeking a Lead Business Execution Consultant within a product driven organization as part of the Product Commercialization Function for Wells Fargo Merchant Services, focused on driving and overseeing the successful launch and commercialization of new products and features. As a pivotal member of our team, you will work closely with Product Managers, and other business stakeholders (in Sales, Marketing, Servicing, Operations, etc.), to ensure all non-development related Go to Market activities are completed and validated prior to the launch of the new product or feature. These activities include providing light weight project management, business analysis, consultation, and documentation support.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the product development process, market research, and marketing strategies.

By analyzing market feedback, customer satisfaction, and sales data, you will identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to enhance our products and marketing strategies.
