We’ve helped people go further with their money since our founding by Henry Wells and William Fargo in 1852. With innovative solutions that evolve with the times, we continue to help our customers get ahead.
Wells Fargo is seeking an experienced Branch Manager to lead, coach, and grow our team in the Central Valley District. In this role, you aren’t just supervising daily transactions, you are the local CEO of your branch. You will act as the primary sales leader, driving growth in checking, deposits, lending, and investments, while cultivating a supportive environment where your team can build meaningful careers.
What Your Days Will Actually Look Like
Your time will be split between mentoring your team, strategizing business growth, and keeping your branch running safely. Your daily focus will include:
- Coaching and Developing Your Team: You will spend a significant amount of your time on the lobby floor and in 1-on-1 sessions, observing your bankers, giving real-time feedback, and helping them build the confidence to uncover complex client needs.
- Driving Growth as a Sales Leader: You’ll set the part for your branch’s sales culture. By implementing disciplined daily routines, you will guide your team to acquire new customers, retain existing ones, and deepen relationships across all products.
- Collaborating with In-House Experts: You will work hand-in-hand with our regional partners in Wealth Management, Business Banking, and Mortgage Lending. Your goal is to ensure that when a customer walks into your branch, they have seamless access to our entire suite of financial specialists.
- Balancing Growth with Safety (Risk Management): You will protect our customers and the bank’s brand by ensuring strict compliance with banking regulations, managing operational risks, preventing losses, and modeling ethical behavior.
- Advocating for Digital Tools: You will guide your team in showing customers how to use our convenient mobile and online banking features, making their day-to-day financial lives simpler.
Branch Manager Readiness Program
To set you up for absolute success, your journey will begin with our Branch Manager Readiness Program. This is a structured, hands-on program featuring mentorship, job shadowing, and practical learning to fully introduce you to Wells Fargo’s unique systems and culture. (Please note that while you are in this initial training phase, the role is an interim, nonexempt position).
Who We Are Looking For
We want a strategic, empathetic leader who knows how to drive results through others. To qualify for this role, you should bring:
- Financial Services Grounding: At least 5+ years of experience in banking, financial services, or retail branch networks (equivalent military leadership or training is also highly valued).
- Direct Leadership Experience: At least 2+ years of experience managing a team, with a proven track record of hiring, coaching, and developing top talent.
- A Sales and Advisory Mindset: Experience analyzing team performance data, identifying gaps, and building action plans to drive growth across affluent, high-net-worth, and business client segments.
- Sharp Critical Thinking: The ability to prioritize, delegate, and make independent, sound decisions in a fast-paced, complex branch environment.
- Regulatory Know-How: A strong understanding of retail banking regulations, compliance controls, and operational risk management.
