Wells Fargo is seeking a Lead Information Security Analyst to help drive the continued evolution of Identity and Access Management (IAM) Operations.

• Develop IAM business strategies, metrics, and reporting to measure effectiveness and compliance.
• Support IAM program initiatives, including role-based access control (RBAC), privileged access management (PAM), Cloud, Non-Human Accounts, and identity lifecycle management.
• Ensure seamless onboarding, offboarding and access review processes to maintain security and minimize risks.
• Manage IAM-related projects, driving continuous improvements in identity governance, workflows, and user experience.
• Act as a liaison between business stakeholders and IAM technical teams to translate business needs into actionable IAM strategies.
• Monitor and enhance IAM risk management processes, ensuring timely mitigation of security gaps.
• Work with vendors, auditors, and regulatory bodies to ensure IAM operations adhere to best practices.
