Business Overview | As the company's second line of defense, Corporate Risk — or Independent Risk Management — provides independent oversight of risk-taking activities. Independent Risk Management establishes and maintains Wells Fargo's risk management program and provides oversight, including challenges to and independent assessment of the frontline's execution of its risk management responsibilities. We manage risk according to the Risk Management Framework and ensure all employees understand their individual accountability for managing risk.

Interns engage in hands-on assignments, connect with leaders, and participate in structured learning and development opportunities designed to build business acumen and professional skills. The experience integrates coaching, performance feedback, and collaborative project work to support growth throughout the summer.
