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?

The Opportunity

We’re in the business of putting people first and we’ve been doing just that for over 100 years. Our mission isn’t performative either: we show up for our customers when it comes to their financial needs. We’re making banking smarter and simpler while serving our communities. We value and encourage the mantra of working better together.

That’s where you come into play. Test drive the tools in your educational toolbox and learn some new skills along the way with an 11-week paid internship with us. Your internship with Ally will move you from educated to experienced.

The Ally Internship Program guides and mentors students with development opportunities and experiences that support your career interests while also driving the business forward. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with diverse teams and functions across the company. You will interact with Ally’s leadership and learn from their personal successes. You will gain the experience to know what it means to be an Ally.

As part of our Internship Program, you will have an opportunity to:

• Have hands on experience and project-based work
• Attend Orientation, Executive Speaking Series, and learning sessions as an Intern cohort
• Participate in Group Mentoring Program and Giving Back Events
• Network with your peers, your team, and those Allys you find interesting
• Lead an end of assignment presentation
