  • 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.

The Opportunity

Support our auto dealer partners by protecting their most valuable assets - their inventory. For a dealer who finances through Ally, we provide physical damage coverage for the cars on their lot, strengthening the bonds between our organizations. An Underwriter will evaluate risks according to location, physical and moral hazards, individual risk characteristics, inspection reports, loss experience and company guidelines in order to accept, decline or modify a business submission.

The Work Itself

Serves as a consultant to producers, customer service and claims personnel, as required. Underwrites new and renewal business for multiple insurance programs. Submits complex or unusual risks, or risks exceeding personal underwriting authority to the appropriate party for appropriate handling. May be assigned specific accounts or territories and is responsible for the profitable performance of that book of business.
