The SCCM (Senior Commercial Credit Manager) is responsible for primary adjudication of small business, commercial, and agricultural credit applications. Adjudication of non-retail credit applications requires in-depth understanding of financial statement presentation and analysis, corporate lending policies, guidelines, and prudent lending practices. Sound decisions, based on a high level of training, experience, and risk analysis skills are required. Experienced SCCMs are expected to provide transaction structuring advice to mitigate risks, comprehensively understand the risk profiles of transactions, and to communicate recommendations effectively.

What you’ll be doing: 

• Adjudicate credits up to assigned limits and recommend acceptable credit applications that require higher level authorization.
• Ensure that approved applications are within the credit union’s risk tolerance and are appropriately structured to minimize the risk of default and loss.
• Identify viable alternatives or revisions to security, terms and conditions to maximize loan growth while minimizing the risk of default.
• Deliver timely and consistent decisions with solid communication and rationale for any amendments.
• Maintain current knowledge of macro-economic issues, regional factors, and industry specific trends.
• Review and recommend changes to lending policies and guidelines to ensure lending practices remain prudent, competitive, and aligned to corporate objectives and strategies.
• Provide advice and direction to member facing staff in the analysis, structuring and negotiation of credit applications and related documentation.
• Partner with stakeholders to achieve collective results. Attend industry events and assist on special projects or with training initiatives as the opportunities are available.

What you bring: 

• A minimum of 5, though 10+ years preferred, of commercial / ag lending experience evidencing skills in financial analysis and accounting, risk assessment, and developing creative financing proposals.
• Undergraduate degree or an equivalent level of knowledge acquired through experience.
• In-depth knowledge of lending procedures & practices, security documentation, and legal ramifications.
• Strong communication and conflict resolution skills.

Most importantly, we're looking for candidates whose personal values align with our cooperative values. These values are evident in everything we do everyday. We're not afraid to be different from our competitors and in fact we embrace these differences. We celebrate our credit union culture and history, and we pride ourselves on our strong commitment to our member-owners and to the communities we serve.
