About this role:
Wells Fargo is seeking a Senior Analytics Consultant focused on data analytics and automation solutions supporting forecasting, risk identification, and operational decisioning. This role is strongly oriented toward business-domain data capture and automation, with a primary focus on exploring and analyzing large volumes of unsecured lending collections operations data.
The consultant will own the end-to-end analytics lifecycle for Unsecured Lending Operations use cases-including data discovery, business-logic translation to technical development and developing forecast models for collection and recovery business arena -while leveraging machine learning, NLP, and AI techniques where appropriate to enable scalable automation. The role emphasizes hands-on execution, rapid prototyping, and disciplined evaluation to ensure outputs are reliable, explainable, and aligned to business needs.
In this role, you will:

• Lead hands-on data discovery and domain data capture across unsecured lending collections operations, partnering with business and technology teams to identify source systems, define critical data elements, and establish fit-for-purpose datasets.
• Design, develop, and enhance forecast models that support staffing/capacity planning, treatment strategy evaluation, and inventory projection; quantify uncertainty and scenario impacts to inform planning decisions.
• Explore, profile, and analyze large-scale collections and recovery data (e.g., accounts, payment behavior, delinquency/roll rates, treatment strategies, contact outcomes, operational capacity, and agent performance signals) to surface actionable insights and decision opportunities.
• Own the end-to-end analytics lifecycle for prioritized use cases-including problem framing, requirements definition, data preparation, and data analysis output.
• Translate collections and recovery business logic (policies, treatment paths, segmentation, and operational constraints) into technical specifications and scalable implementations (SQL/Python workflows, reusable data transformations, and production-ready metrics).
• Build and automate risk identification signals for operational decisioning (e.g., early-warning indicators, drift detection, emerging loss pockets, operational bottlenecks), and integrate outputs into business routines and dashboards.
• Leverage machine learning, NLP, and AI techniques where appropriate to enable scalable automation-such as text mining of notes, disposition narratives, or correspondence; classification and prioritization; clustering and segmentation; and anomaly detection.
• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to non-technical stakeholders, translating analytical results into operational actions, trade-offs, and measurable business outcomes.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with collections leadership, strategy, risk, compliance, and technology partners to align solutions with risk appetite, governance requirements, and real-world operational constraints.
• May mentor junior analysts/consultants by sharing best practices in data discovery, forecasting, automation design, and responsible use of ML/AI in operational environments.

Required Qualifications:

• 4+ years of Analytics experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

Desired Qualifications:

• Proven ability to develop, validate, and maintain forecasting and predictive models that support operational planning and decisioning (e.g., inventory projections, roll-rate/flow models, recovery forecasting, capacity/staffing planning, and scenario analysis).
• Strong hands-on experience with Python-based analytics and automation workflows working with large, complex datasets; advanced SQL proficiency required (SAS, Teradata, Snowflake).
• Demonstrated experience performing data discovery, source-to-target analysis, and building reusable data transformations (e.g., standardized metrics, dimensional models, or curated analytical datasets) with strong attention to data quality and lineage.
• Familiarity with machine learning, NLP, and applied AI techniques, and the judgment to apply them selectively to collections operations problems (e.g., text mining of agent notes, classification/prioritization, segmentation, and anomaly detection).
• Strong statistical foundation and practical experience with disciplined evaluation (back-testing, holdout validation, stability and sensitivity testing, and uncertainty quantification), with a focus on producing reliable and explainable outputs for business use.
• Strong communication and consulting skills, with the ability to translate analytical results into clear recommendations, trade-offs, and measurable business outcomes for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Preferred: domain knowledge in unsecured lending collections and recovery (delinquency management, treatment strategies, customer contact operations, loss mitigation, and operational KPIs).

Job Expectations:

• Ability to travel up to 10% of the time.
• This position is NOT eligible for Visa sponsorship.
• Ability to work on site per Wells Fargo's standard operating model in one of the listed locations.

Posting End Date:
