  • Portfolio performance is strong, with proactive delinquency and risk management
  • Members experience smooth, professional, and timely lending service
  • Lending products and processes continuously evolve to meet member needs and market trends
  • You are seen as a trusted leader, coach, and lending expert within the organization

What You Bring

  • 5–8 years of experience in consumer lending or financial services
  • Proven success in loan origination, underwriting, and portfolio management
  • Strong knowledge of consumer lending regulations and compliance requirements
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring, coaching, or leading lending staff
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence, guide, and collaborate
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and core banking/lending systems
