Senior Strategy Analyst - Advanced Business Analytics

Overview

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.

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

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 to help nearly 10,000 leaders and employees make countless data‑driven decisions every day. Our analytics community has hundreds of analytics professionals across Ally in communities focused on business analytics, data science, R, Python, Power BI and more and continues to grow every day.

The Technology and Digital organization is deploying our new Cloud Computing platform to accelerate and expand our digital capability. We’re looking for a passionate analytics professional with great communication skills to support this transition. This person will execute quantitative analysis and problem solving to develop in‑depth business‑relevant insights, scenario‑based assumptions and forward‑looking analysis.

They will play an integral role in strategy development and associated risk management, mentor developing analytics professionals, and collaborate with other analytics teams to build capability.
