Wells Fargo is seeking an experienced Lead Quantitative Analytics Specialist to join the Frontier AI Model Methodology team. The Frontier AI Model Methodology team plays a critical role in developing and productionizing methodologies, AI agents, and systems that transform and accelerate model development and validation at Wells Fargo scale. One of its key functions is to integrate, in close collaboration with Model Risk Officers, these advanced methodologies and AI agents into the overall risk management strategy, ensuring consistency and alignment with enterprise-wide objectives. This synergy enhances the robustness and reliability of models leveraged by the company, strengthens the effectiveness of model validations, and contributes to the continuous improvement of modeling standards and practices across the enterprise. In this role, you will be a hands-on technical leader, architect, and builder, responsible for designing, developing, and delivering our Enterprise Model Validation platform, and AI agents. Success is defined by your ability to build production-grade systems, influence through technical leadership, and partner closely with model developers, validators, and technology teams.
