Lead Information Security Analyst - IAM
Wells Fargo is seeking a Lead Information Security Analyst to help strengthen and evolve Identity and Access Management (IAM) Operations.
We're looking for a proven IAM professional who understands how identity data moves across systems and the downstream impact it has on access, controls, compliance, and risk.
This role focuses on IAM data hygiene, entitlement governance, process optimization, and controls. Success requires someone who can identify gaps, improve data quality, strengthen operational processes, and partner across teams to drive lasting improvements.
The ideal candidate understands IAM workflows end-to-end, communicates effectively with both business and technical stakeholders, and can translate complex requirements into practical solutions. This person is naturally curious, asks the right questions, and knows how to influence others while driving accountability and results.
In this role, you will:

• Analyze and optimize IAM business operations, ensuring alignment with organizational security and business objectives.
• Oversee identity governance, user access policies, and compliance with industry regulations.
• Collaborate with IT, cybersecurity, HR, and business teams to enhance IAM processes, automation, and efficiency.
• 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 risk.
• 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.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of Information Security Analysis experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education.
• 3+ years of Identity Access Management experience preferred.
• 2+ years of Technology or Business Controls experience.
• 2+ years of Escalation Management or supervisory experience.
• 3+ years of related work experience in financial industry operations or systems.
• Experience with IAM technologies such as Okta, Saviynt, Microsoft Azure AD, CyberArk, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP) and compliance frameworks.
• Proven ability to manage IAM projects, optimize processes, and drive operational efficiencies.

Why this role?
This is an opportunity to make a measurable impact by improving the quality, governance, and effectiveness of IAM processes that support enterprise security at scale.
