The IPRM / Digital and AI Risk Team has an exciting opportunity to support Ally’s generative Artificial Intelligence risk program.

The Senior Risk Analyst plays a critical role, providing a Business Line risk function, in support of Enterprise Data Analytics (EDA) and, within that organization, the Advanced Analytics and AI organization.

The Risk Management function is maturing the generative AI risk program, preparing for emerging risks, monitoring the regulatory landscape, and enabling the implementation of AI use cases across the enterprise under a defined risk framework.

The IPRM / Digital and AI Risk Team provides both guidance to BLs and oversight of AI patterns and use cases that come to AI Governance as part of the established risk management framework.

Senior Risk Analysts carry many other responsibilities beyond direct support to the AI Governance process. They may be assigned to work on cross-business initiatives that provide enterprise-level innovations to our customers.

Another assignment could include a review of third-party contracts and / or Ally acquisitions when generative AI is integrated into the product or service.

As the regulatory environment changes, emerging risks are identified and often require new controls and integration into the IPRM / Digital and AI Risk Team ’s risk framework.

The Senior Analyst will work with partners from all business and risk disciplines to develop new, or enhance existing processes related to Generative AI.

The role will report to a Director within the Digital and AI Risk Team.
