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?

The Opportunity

At Ally, you get a startup feel, but experience the benefits of a company that’s worked out the kinks and is fulfilling its purpose. We’re always evolving and see that as a good thing. From owning our work to seeing its impact in the real world, our team is relentless in finding new ways technology can help make experiences better and help people. We are problem solvers, we value diverse thinking, we support one another, and we challenge ourselves to think bigger in the journey to deliver customer-obsessed tech solutions.

As Ally is making a significant investment in growing and improving our digital experiences and foundation, we will be consolidating and enhancing our customer facing authentication experience. It’s critical that the Digital business team is closely aligned with the technology teams through this experience. The Digital Product Owner for Customer Authentication UI will work across multiple lines of business to help to identify, plan and work through the implementation for Ally’s target state for customer enrollment and authentication. This person will be key in understanding existing roadmaps across multiple Product Owners to identify the optimal experience that balance security and customer friction.

This successful candidate will work closely with other product owners, web and mobile developers, and partners too. As a product owner, this person will work actively across additional stakeholder teams, including operations, call center, deposits, auto, risk, compliance, and legal, and will be responsible for working with those teams strategically and tactically to ensure strong alignment and partnership.
