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
Participate in an Audit Early Talent Development Program (ETDP) designed to build technical internal audit skills, professional development skills, and financial services industry knowledge to jumpstart a career in internal audit. High performing college undergrad graduates will apply what they learn through an audit life cycle simulation based training, while working in one of our 6 audit teams for 2-3 month rotations. #LI-DNP
Individual training and hands-on opportunities will focus on achieving a working knowledge of internal audit while developing skills pertaining to assessing risks, understanding internal controls, analyzing information/data, documenting workpapers, and effective communications (written and oral). The program also focuses on successfully transitioning participants from "campus to corporate" by developing skills such as networking, presenting, coaching and feedback, leading 1 on 1 discussions with their manager.
