Branch Manager Opportunity

Wells Fargo is seeking accomplished, people-focused leaders interested in a Branch Manager career within the National Branch Network. This opportunity is designed for experienced managers who bring a strong foundation in branch leadership and are looking to apply their expertise within the Wells Fargo environment.

As a Branch Manager, you will serve as the sales leader of the branch, accountable for acquiring, deepening and retaining customer relationships to drive consistent growth in primary checking, deposits, lending, credit cards and investments through disciplined execution, strong coaching, and effective performance management. You will lead, coach, and develop a team to consistently execute behaviors and improve banker productivity. You will foster an engaged, accountable culture focused on uncovering customer financial needs and recommending Wells Fargo solutions that deepen relationships and drive long-term value. You will balance growth objectives with strong operational risk management to protect customers, employees, and the company.

Your onboarding starts with participation in the Branch Manager Readiness Program which is intended to offer a structured and supportive transition into leadership at Wells Fargo. Participants gain hands-on experience through guidance, mentorship, job shadowing, and practical learning opportunities in day-to-day branch operations. The program provides foundational knowledge, real-world practice, and leadership readiness needed to effectively lead a team and make an impact from day one. Successful completion of the Branch Manager Readiness program is required to transition into a Branch Manager position. Branch assignment is based on business need and branch availability at the time of placement. While in training, this position is an interim, nonexempt role. Employees currently serving in a Branch Manager role at Wells Fargo are not required to complete the program.

• Lead a branch team to proactively identify customer financial needs and deliver tailored consumer and business solutions that drive both customer value and business outcomes.
• Use branch manager routines to build individual capability, confidence, and productivity, delivering consistent, high-impact coaching through observation, feedback, and follow-up while holding the team accountable to behaviors and outcomes aligned to Wells Fargo priorities.
• Partner closely with internal sales partners to provide customers a comprehensive, coordinated Wells Fargo experience across Wealth & Investment Management, Business Banking, and Home Lending to maximize relationship depth, customer value, and branch performance.
• Identify opportunities for making banking easier for customers through education and demonstration of available digital options.
• Leverage reporting and employee observations to gain insight into strengths and opportunities, taking decisive action to improve team performance and expand primary bank relationships and wallet share.
• Demonstrate ownership by balancing growth, operational soundness, and talent decisions while proactively managing risk, resolving issues, and modeling behaviors that protect customers, employees, and the company.
