Ally and Your Career

Ally Financial only succeeds when its people do - and that's more than some cliche 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

The Ally Bank Capital Markets Manager role is responsible for assisting in the management of the High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) Portfolio. Specifically, the Manager will be expected to analyze the Agency Mortgage Backed Securities (Agency MBS) and United States Treasury (UST) markets and help to implement overall strategic decisions surrounding positioning of the portfolio.

The Ally Bank Capital Markets Manager role is also responsible for working with the Liquidity Risk team to ensure that all Liquidity Risk metrics and regulatory guidelines are in good standing and the Liquidity Portfolio is properly aligned with those goals. Additionally, the Manager will work closely with Corporate FP&A ensuring that the HQLA portfolio is within the Corporate Strategic Plan forecasts.

The Ally Bank Capital Markets Manager role will also assist in the implementation and management of the Interest Rate Risk Hedging Strategy program.

This is a fast paced and highly visible role where priorities often evolve and shift in accordance with market developments, regulatory developments, and internal prioritization. We are always maintaining a delicate balance of essentialism, efficiency, value add, complexity, time to delivery, maintainability, and tactical vs strategic prioritization without compromise in accuracy or alignment with Ally policy, culture, risk appetite, and line of business objectives.

• Monitor performance of existing HQLA portfolio relative to peers and broader market performance
• Create and maintain model documentation for new and existing models in accordance with Ally model validation and model risk management standards.
• Self-sufficiently identify defects, gaps, and pitfalls and work with appropriate parties to address and resolve
