Wells Fargo is seeking a Lead Systems Architect for Access Provisioning that is responsible for defining, governing, and evolving enterprise access provisioning capabilities within the Identity and Access Management (IAM) domain. This role provides architectural and technical leadership to ensure access is provisioned, modified, and removed in a secure, automated, scalable, and compliant manner across on‑premises, cloud, and hybrid environments for both human and non‑human identities.
Job Responsibility:
Own the end‑to‑end architecture for access provisioning, including joiner, mover, leaver processes, entitlement lifecycle management, and access de‑provisioning
Define and maintain target‑state and transition architectures that drive automation, least‑privilege enforcement, and reduction of manual access processes
Establish and enforce architectural standards, patterns, and guardrails for access provisioning, entitlement modeling, and application onboarding
Design role‑based and attribute‑based access models aligned to business functions, risk tolerance, and regulatory requirements
Partner with security engineering, access operations, application teams, and platform owners to ensure consistent implementation of provisioning architectures
Guide integration of identity governance, provisioning, and authorization capabilities with authoritative systems of record and downstream target systems
Ensure access provisioning architectures support segregation of duties, auditability, and regulatory compliance requirements
Lead architecture reviews for new applications, platforms, cloud migrations, and major initiatives impacting access provisioning
Drive remediation strategies for access‑related audit findings, control gaps, and technical debt
Influence IAM roadmaps and investment decisions related to provisioning, automation, and access governance
Serve as a technical authority and thought leader within the IAM domain for access provisioning
Mentor senior engineers and architects, promoting consistent architectural practices across teams
Collaborate with governance and policy teams to translate policy and risk requirements into implementable technical controls
Work closely with operations teams to ensure architectures are operationally sustainable and scalable
Requirements:
5+ years of Architecture experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
Deep experience designing and leading Identity and Access Management architectures, with strong focus on access provisioning and lifecycle management
Strong knowledge of IAM principles including least privilege, segregation of duties, entitlement governance, and identity lifecycle controls
Hands‑on experience with enterprise IAM, identity governance, and access provisioning platforms
Proven ability to design large‑scale, automated access solutions across on‑prem, cloud, and hybrid environments
Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence across security, technology, risk, and business teams
Excellent problem‑solving, systems thinking, and written and verbal communication skills
Nice to have:
Experience with SailPoint, Active Directory and/or HashiCorp Vault
Experience supporting regulatory, audit, and risk management activities related to access controls
Background in modernizing legacy access provisioning models through automation and standardized architectures
Ability to balance security, compliance, operational efficiency, and user experience in architectural decision‑making
