Description:

Credit Union National Benefits (CUNB) empowers organizations within the cooperative community to support the health and well-being of their employees through a best-in-class group benefits program. Since 1973, CUNB has been dedicated to delivering comprehensive, high-value employee benefits solutions tailored specifically to the needs of cooperative organizations across Canada. Their programs offer a full spectrum of coverage, including health, dental, disability, life, and critical illness insurance, complemented by additional services such as Employee Assistance Programs and telemedicine support. As the credit union landscape continues to evolve, so does CUNB—continuously adapting its model to maximize value for existing plan participants while strategically positioning for growth. Expanding reach and leveraging economies of scale remain central priorities as CUNB looks to the future.

CUNB is seeking its first full-time Executive Director. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will manage all operational functions of CUNB, including strategic planning, financial management, business development, oversight of service partner relationships, and initiatives to increase organizational visibility. The role involves providing support and resources to the Board and serving as the key communication link between the Board and CUNB members.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to the principles of the Plan, integrity, and dedication. They will play a leadership role in shaping the organization’s future, with a focus on relationship management and business development. The position requires a resourceful, strategic, and self-directed professional who enjoys both hands-on and strategic responsibilities.

Preferred background includes experience in financial services, insured benefit programs, board governance, client relationship management, and business development. Experience working with credit unions, cooperative systems, or financial services organizations is highly desirable. Relevant experience may include leadership roles in human resources, benefits or insurance consulting, senior positions in related associations, or financial services sales.

This is a unique opportunity to influence the growth and impact of CUNB while building strong relationships within the credit union system. The role is remote, based anywhere in Canada, with occasional travel across the country.
