Ally and Your Career

Ally Financial only succeeds when its people do - and that’s more than some cliché people put on job postings. We live this stuff! We see our people as, well, people - with interests, families, friends, dreams, and causes that are all important to them. Our focus is on the health and safety of our teammates as well as work-life balance and diversity and inclusion. From generous benefits to a variety of employee resource groups, we strive to build paths that encourage employees to stretch themselves professionally. We want to help you grow, develop, and learn new things. You’re constantly evolving, so shouldn’t your opportunities be, too?

Work Schedule: Ally designates roles as (1) fully on-site, (2) hybrid, or (3) fully remote. Hybrid roles are generally expected to be in the office a certain number of days per week as indicated by your manager. Your hiring manager will discuss this role's specific work requirements with you during the hiring process. All work requirements are subject to change at any time based on leader discretion and/or business need.

The Opportunity

Ally Financial Inc.’s Independent Risk Management function is responsible for objective and critical assessment of risks and—through oversite, effective challenge, and other means—evaluation of whether Ally remains aligned with its risk appetite and risk limits. Join a team dedicated to outstanding risk management in finance and insurance. Your insights and expertise will contribute to flawless risk evaluation and governance. The individual will interact predominantly with the Ally Insurance Business Line and various enterprise functions.

At this time, Ally will not sponsor a new applicant for employment authorization for this position.
