Senior Analyst - Auto Underwriting Strategy Analytics

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?

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.

As a leader in digital financial services, our customer and employee experiences run on data. We depend on the Ally analytics community to fuel these journeys and help nearly 10,000 leaders and employees make countless data‑driven decisions every day. We’re looking for a passionate analytics professional with great communication skills for our Auto Underwriter Optimization team. This person will execute quantitative analysis and problem solving to develop in‑depth business‑relevant insights, scenario‑based assumptions and forward‑looking analysis.

Utilizing data from databases, internal reports, market and business trends, and financial statements, the analyst will play an integral role in strategy development and associated risk management. They will also mentor developing analytics professionals and connect with other analytics teams to build capability. If you have a focus on measurable business outcomes, strong analytical skills, and a desire to make an impact, and you are a creative and critical thinker, storyteller, learner, and innovator who wants to work in a data‑driven decision‑making environment, we’d like to hear from you.
