About this role:Wells Fargo is seeking an experienced Senior Lead with expertise in designing and implementing innovative Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) live monitoring processes.

The successful candidate will spearhead the creation, refinement, and rollout of new monitoring frameworks, collaborating cross-functionally to ensure robust and dynamic real-time oversight.
In this role, you will:- Build and run a live monitoring approach that identifies third-party risk early and reduces reliance on point-in-time assessments.
- Translate diverse risk signals (financial, cyber, geopolitical/macro, fourth party, adverse media, etc.) into actionable alerts and clear next steps.
- Define how monitoring decisions are made (triage, escalation, ownership), and ensure each decision is defensible and backed by documented evidence.
- Partner with risk, business, and operations teams to align monitoring priorities, thresholds, and consistent ways of responding to issues.
- Create guidance and training so teams know what to do when monitoring triggers and how to document outcomes.
- Evaluate and select appropriate market data and TPRM tools and technologies that support the goals of the live monitoring process.
- Measure and report program effectiveness (e.g., what is detected, how quickly decisions are made, and how issues are resolved).
- Continuously improve the program so it becomes more proactive, consistent, and easy to execute over time.
