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

Join our dynamic Ally Insurance Business Line Risk team as a Senior Analyst and make a significant impact on our operations. Utilize your data savvy, detail-oriented mindset, and positive attitude to propose innovative ideas and develop effective strategies for improving our risk program. Key focus areas include risk appetite and reporting, credit risk, and strategic risk governance. With high visibility in the business, you will be at the forefront of risk-related conversations and contribute to discussions with key stakeholders, including Ally Insurance leadership. This is an excellent opportunity to elevate your career, enhance your risk management skills, and increase your impact and influence within the organization. Join us and be part of a team dedicated to excellence and innovation in risk management.

This role works from an Ally office in either Detroit MI or Schaumburg IL.

The Work Itself

  • Risk Appetite and Risk Reporting: Utilize and develop your Power BI skills to create detailed reports on key risk stripes, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the risks impacting the business. Collaborate with risk partners to thoroughly assess key risks, culminating in a monthly update of the Risk Dashboard that is presented to Ally Insurance leadership. Work closely with colleagues to establish new Risk Limits and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for the early detection and prevention of potential risks.
  • Credit Risk: Lead improvements to the credit risk management framework by analyzing credit portfolio trends and key risk indicators. Work closely with the Auto Finance Credit Risk team to gain deeper insights into credit risk assessments and apply this knowledge to enhance credit risk analysis. Collaborate with the Underwriting Team to address underperforming accounts, stay updated on actions taken, and monitor strategies aimed at improving the overall credit quality of the portfolio.
  • Strategic Risk Governance: Collaborate with Insurance business partners and Ally risk management experts to oversee the risk assessment process for new products and business initiatives. Evaluate potential risks and ensure that effective risk mitigation plans are established and implemented before launching new initiatives. Promote effective governance within the Insurance business by developing and maintaining robust policies and procedures, and by facilitating committee meetings and communications.

  • Highly organized, self-motivated, and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage tight deadlines and adapt to unexpected requirement changes. Willingness to ask questions and challenge existing processes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly grasp new subject matters and apply an analytical mindset to think proactively and strategically. Capable of identifying gaps and proposing effective solutions.
