Wells Fargo is seeking a Cloud Data Platform Product Management - Lead Data Management Analyst within the Data Management & Insight (DMI) team. This position is pivotal in leading and delivering functionality within our Enterprise Cloud Data Platforms team, acting as an Agile Product Owner. The successful candidate will be responsible for implementing and supporting the data product vision and strategy, engaging with partners and users to refine requirements, prioritize tasks, and manage the backlog of scrum teams. This role is essential in ensuring alignment with the data transformation journey at Wells Fargo. In this critical role, the analyst will engage and communicate regularly with various program leaders, including internal IT development teams, Engineering Managers, Designers, and Internal Audit and Controls. The analyst will serve as the key point of contact to orchestrate, communicate, and organize work efforts associated with delivering specific data management capabilities on the Cloud.
