Are We the Place for You?
Securityplus Federal Credit Union ($551M; Baltimore, MD) is seeking a Chief Lending Officer to reimagine lending products, services, and experiences to better meet the evolving needs of its growing membership. Securityplus is dedicated to delivering forward-thinking solutions and personalized service, continually enhancing the financial well-being of the members we proudly serve.

Securityplus FCU is one of the largest Credit Unions in Maryland, with nearly 35,000 members from the Baltimore metropolitan area, federal agencies, and our SEG partners choosing us as their financial partner. Today, we aspire to grow further as one of the most technologically advanced financial institutions in the market. 

Is This the Career for You? 
Reporting to and working closely with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Lending Officer will play a critically important role as part of the senior leadership team, where this individual will craft and execute a progressive lending strategy that promotes credit union growth, safety and soundness, and cutting-edge innovation. The CLO is responsible for directing all lending activities and working collaboratively with teams across the enterprise. As a leader, the CLO has responsibility for managing the performance of staff, as well as playing a key role in the advancement of the Strategic Plan and promotion of Securityplus’ mission, vision, and core values. The CLO should also understand how the lending function directly impacts the members’ experience with the credit union. As a credit union serving a diverse population, the Chief Lending Officer should have experience creating lending strategies that serve marginalized populations. 

The ideal candidate should be able to “hit the ground running” with a solid understanding of all aspects of lending, including consumer, mortgage, commercial, and collections. Leadership and sound decision-making are areas where the Chief Lending Officer should excel. 
 
As CLO, you will participate in long- and short-term strategic planning and lead the day-to-day operations of lending while collaborating with your leadership team colleagues in delivering the best member experience.
