30d • $65,000 - $80,000

About The Position

Pacific NW Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, full-service financial institution serving members across Oregon and Washington. Our mission is simple: be our members' financial partner for life. We're proud of our deep community roots and longstanding member relationships-many spanning generations.
We're opening our first new branch in over 20 years, and we're looking for the right leader to launch it.
We're seeking a Branch Manager to lead our new branch. This is a highly visible, front-facing leadership role in a small, relationship-focused branch environment.
You'll be responsible for overall branch success-driving loan and member growth, building strong local relationships, and creating an outstanding member experience-while leading a lean team and partnering closely with centralized operations and lending teams.
This role is ideal for a leader who enjoys being on the floor, engaging with members, coaching staff in real time, and serving as the face of the Credit Union in the community.
