At Wells Fargo, we are looking for talented people who will put our customers at the center of everything we do. We are seeking candidates who embrace diversity, equity and inclusion in a workplace where everyone feels valued and inspired.

Help us build a better Wells Fargo. It all begins with outstanding talent. It all begins with you.

The Strategy, Digital and Innovation (SDI) team forges the strategic direction of Wells Fargo, provides and manages our digital foundation and common capabilities, and transforms our business models to meet evolving customer needs and grow the company. The investments we are making will help the company create innovative digital banking experiences, and make it easier for customers to achieve their financial goals.

People’s relationship with their money runs high with emotion. Too little money and anxiety creeps in, too much money and confusion presents itself on how to protect it. We believe we can temper some of these highs and lows by creating honest, simple, and human digital experiences for our 30+ million consumers, small business customers, and team members. Join us and have a positive impact on the financial lives of your friends, family, and neighbors.

The Wells Fargo Experience Design (XD) team designs experiences that people love and confidently engage to improve their financial lives. We work closely with technology and product management to ensure we are problem-driven (versus solution) and customer-first. While we have individual expertise across product design, research, content design, and operations, we all operate as empowered leaders with strong design rationale. As a team, we care about each other yet believe in radical candor, want to have fun while we work, and are obsessed with what’s most important to our 30+ million customers!

Why you’ll thrive here

You share our passion for customer experience and problem-solving. You play well with others, but you aren’t afraid to stand up for what you think is right.
