About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Lending Officer (CLO) to join its senior leadership team and spearhead the development and execution of the overall lending strategy. The CLO will be responsible for leading a diverse team that covers all lending functions, including consumer, residential mortgage, auto, and business lending, as well as collections. A key focus of the role is to ensure strong asset quality, regulatory compliance, and a positive member experience. The successful candidate will be tasked with modernizing lending processes, introducing technology and automation, and building a cohesive team to support the lending vision. This is a pivotal role for a leader who is passionate about strengthening and modernizing lending portfolios, with a particular emphasis on mortgage lending as a growth opportunity. The ideal CLO for the company will have a clear vision for building a competitive lending program, including knowledge of secondary markets, pricing strategies, and incentive design. A thoughtful approach to rural lending and community development is essential, as is a commitment to fostering a collaborative, servant-leadership culture within the organization. The role requires a candidate with a minimum of 10 years' progressive lending leadership experience within a financial institution, with a strong background in commercial, consumer, and mortgage lending. The CLO will be expected to have a deep understanding of the communities served and to be dedicated to the cooperative values that define the credit union movement.
