Description

Overview:

American Credit Acceptance (ACA) is part of The Johnson Group and one of the nations leading indirect auto finance companies; we partner with dealerships across the 50 states to empower the emerging credit consumer to purchase reliable and affordable transportation.

We create value for our team members, partners, customers, and communities by acting in accordance with our Guiding Principles, which ultimately leads to a stronger company culture and better business performance.

As the number of consumers we serve continues to grow, so does the Companys need to secure diversified and cost efficient financing sources, which is the primary mission of the Capital Markets (CM) team.

Our funding platform consists of ~$5.2+BN in financing instruments comprised of securitizations (i.e. bonds sold to institutional investors), bank credit facilities, and shareholder capital.

The CM Financial Analyst will collaborate internally with other team members and associates throughout the organization, as well as with external partners such as banks and rating agencies to facilitate efficient funding of the business.
