The organization has also demonstrated remarkable success in consistently growing both membership and core deposits, creating a strong deposit base and significant opportunity to continue expanding its lending programs.
The Director of Consumer Lending will play a key leadership role in shaping the next chapter of growth for Quincy Credit Union’s consumer lending function. Reporting to the Chief Lending Officer, this leader will help drive strategy, process improvement, and execution across consumer lending, with a particular focus on auto lending, personal lending, and credit cards. The role offers the opportunity to enhance the member experience and improve lending automation and decision making, while leading a tenured team. This is an excellent opportunity for a consumer lending leader who brings strong operational expertise, a forward thinking mindset, and a passion for building efficient, member centered lending programs within a growing and well respected credit union.
