  • Lead technology functions including infrastructure and security, data and analytics, and core enterprise systems
  • Partner with executive leadership to modernize systems, improve service delivery, and enable data‑driven decision making
  • Ensure secure, resilient, and compliant technology operations in a financial environment
  • Oversee cybersecurity strategy, risk management, and technology controls
  • Promote a collaborative, service‑oriented culture across technology teams
  • Build, lead, and develop high‑performing technology leaders and teams
  • Manage technology investments, budgets, and vendor relationships
What You’ll Need

  • 10+ years of progressive technology leadership experience, including responsibility for multiple technology functions
  • Demonstrated success leading enterprise‑wide technology initiatives and modernization efforts
  • Experience in financial services, banking, credit union, or other regulated industries preferred
  • Strong ability to translate technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for non‑technical audiences
  • Proven leadership, strategic thinking, and change‑management capabilities
  • Relevant professional certifications preferred (e.g., CRISC, CISA, CISSP, CISM)
What We Offer
  • Wellness resources for spiritual growth, physical health and social connection.
  • Comprehensive compensation package, including the opportunity to participate in our Employee Incentive Program.
  • Generous time off, including dedicated time off between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
  • Health insurance with 100% of premiums covered by LCEF, retirement benefits (pension and 403(b) employer match), paid parental leave, and so much more.
