  • Manage the full spectrum of staff administration, including hiring, writing and administering performance evaluations, and recommending appropriate personnel actions, salary increases, and promotions.

  • Understand, administer, and enforce all applicable credit union and NCUA rules, regulations, and policies.

  • Monitor branch equipment, facilities, and delivery systems to ensure efficient operations; coordinate with service providers, troubleshoot issues, and document performance concerns as needed.
  • Direct training plans and work programs for assigned employees to enhance job performance, product knowledge, process understanding, and professional growth. Recommend formal training opportunities when appropriate.
  • Research and resolve member and employee concerns, including de-escalating situations and supporting positive outcomes.

 

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for a leader who can build trust, set clear expectations, develop talent, and create a positive environment where employees feel supported, accountable, and motivated to deliver exceptional service.

  • Proven leadership ability, with the confidence to guide a team, make sound decisions, and support branch goals.
  • A people-focused approach, with a passion for mentoring, coaching, and helping employees grow in their roles and careers.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to create a collaborative, service-focused team culture.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; college degree or prior management experience preferred.
  • Two to three years of financial industry experience preferred.
  • Availability to work branch hours as needed, including some Saturdays.
  • Strong conflict resolution and problem-solving skills, with the ability to coach through challenges and support positive outcomes.
