Lead the Next Era of Lending Innovation TwinStar Credit Union is embarking on a transformative path to triple its asset size and significantly expand its market reach and member impact. As we architect this bold transformation, we're investing in visionary leadership to build a future-ready lending platform. We're seeking a dynamic, tech-savvy Chief Lending Officer (CLO) to join our executive team and lead the way in reimagining what lending can be.

The CLO will lead enterprise-wide lending strategy and execution across consumer, mortgage, and commercial portfolios with a strong emphasis on accelerating commercial and small business lending.

The ideal candidate has a track record of safely scaling portfolios while managing risk and aligning credit strategy with evolving market conditions. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, digital experience, finance, and operations to ensure the lending function drives growth and deepens member value.

This is a rare opportunity to make your mark on a growing institution, mentor a high-performing team, and build a future-ready lending ecosystem that is member-centric and grounded in innovation, accountability, and trust.
