Job description

Arapahoe Credit Union located in beautiful Colorado is the alternative to typical banking. We are a not-for-profit and community driven where we put our staff and members first. This allows us to offer a work culture that is worlds away from large banks and other financial institutions. Through sound fiscal practice and financial education, the Credit Union exists to provide innovative products and quality services that help meet the daily financial needs and long-term goals of the membership.

Due to an upcoming retirement, the Board of Directors is seeking a forward-thinking, community driven, results focused, and collaborative leader to lead this organization as their next President / Chief Executive Officer.

Additional duties will be to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of all operations, leading change where necessary; develop and maintain organizational structure; and develop and retain effective, member focused and accountable leaders. The CEO will also represent the credit union effectively to regulatory agencies, membership, SEG’s, community and civic organizations, and trade associations.

The successful candidate will be tech savvy, adaptable, community driven, emotionally intelligent with a strong desire for continuous improvement, and have an understanding of the credit union’s cooperative purpose. They will also possess strong leadership and interpersonal abilities; solid organizational, analytical, and tactical skills with the ability to coordinate, manage, and direct others effectively; and be a champion for their members, the community, and their employees.
