Vice President, eTrading Rates Product Owner

About the 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.

Requirements

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