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 is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Fraud Strategy Director to join our Fraud Prevention team. The successful candidate will be primarily responsible for supporting strategic initiatives that originate outside of the fraud organization, however, will also have responsibility of supporting Fraud led strategic initiatives. This role is an integral stakeholder in cross functional projects – often led by product and digital teams – where fraud considerations must be balanced with business growth objectives. You will serve as a strategic advisor and control expert, influencing initiative design and execution to mitigate fraud risk while enabling innovation and customer centric growth through assessing fraud risks, evaluating operational impacts, and fulfilling key project responsibilities. This role requires a strategic thinker with a deep understanding of fraud prevention and the ability to collaborate effectively across various departments.
