About this role:

Wells Fargo is seeking a Senior Control Management Specialist to join our team supporting Corporate Risk. The right candidate will be responsible for evaluating controls to ensure proactive self-identification of control deficiencies, providing insight into emerging risks while operating in a very dynamic manner, and connecting and building relationships with key partners.

The Wells Fargo front line Evidence Based Control Evaluation (EBCE) team is part of the Control Management Executive (CME) organization. This position will be tasked with evaluating whether controls are well-designed and operating effectively by assessing the design and performance effectiveness of a control in mitigating operational risks.

The EBCE process is aligned to the front-line Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) Program to support a proactive risk management environment in alignment with Wells Fargo’s Risk Management Framework. Control evaluations are performed, and results are documented in templates and systems of record based on applicable policies, standards, and guidance documentation. The EBCE process may involve leading, conducting, and documenting walk-throughs of controls with control owners and business aligned control team members, developing test scripts, and determining the appropriate data and/or documentation needed for sampling to assess the design and operating effectiveness of the control(s).

In this role, you will:

• Evaluate controls aligned to high/moderate risk instances across all risk types consistent with the RCSA policy established by Independent Risk Management and the Front Line RCSA Procedures.

• Execute evidence-based control evaluations (i.e. control testing) in an effective manner and on schedule.

• Raise schedule delays to the EBCE coordinator.

• Communicate any potential control deficiencies discovered during the completion of the EBCE to a coordinator.

• Document the EBCE in templates and systems under limited supervision and in accordance with requirements.

• Identify appropriate data, populations and other documentation needed to support the execution of the EBCE design and performance evaluation.

• Develop and execute test scripts needed to evaluate the control performance aligned with the associated risk types.

• Build relationships with team and collaborate effectively in a dynamically changing environment.

Required Qualifications:

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

Desired Qualifications:

• A BS/BA degree or higher in business, finance, or economics

• Experience executing control evaluation test scripts to assess the design and performance effectiveness of internal controls

• Experience with risk types, methodologies, and frameworks for evaluating or testing controls and assessing results, conducting research, and identifying control deficiencies

• Ability to take on increased responsibility and accountability for complex initiatives

• Strong organizational, multi-tasking, and prioritizing skills

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy skills

• Strong, clear and concise written and oral communication skills

• Ability to develop partnerships and collaborate with other business and functional areas

• Ability to consult, build, and maintain solid working relationships in and outside of immediate department

• Strong communication skills and ability to articulate complex material to a diverse audience
