Our client is seeking a transformational Chief Lending Officer (CLO) to complete its executive leadership team and shape the future of lending for a high-performing, growth-ready credit union. This is the final executive role to be filled following a recent leadership transition led by a new CEO who has built a highly energized, collaborative executive team and strong organizational momentum within the past year.

Our client is in an exceptional financial position, having surpassed $1 billion in assets in September 2025, with a liquidity ratio of approximately 40%, a loan-to-share ratio in the mid-to-upper 60s, and net worth exceeding 10%. The organization’s challenge is not access to capital, but rather deploying excess liquidity into a well-balanced, diversified, and profitable loan portfolio.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and serving as a core member of the executive leadership team alongside the Chief Experience Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Information Officer, the CLO will have broad latitude and creative license—within defined guardrails—to build a compelling lending vision, diversify the portfolio, and lead a multi-year transformation of our client’s lending platform.

This role represents a rare opportunity for a proven lending leader or high-potential executive to build something enduring: a modern, scalable, and member-centric lending organization aligned with our client’s long-term strategy and community mission.
