Job description

Since 1957, Northern Credit Union has provided personal and business banking products, services, and financial planning expertise to approximately 88,000 members across 26 communities as a full-service, locally operated financial institution. Northern is dedicated to making a difference in people's lives. Through economic development, financial stewardship, and local investment, Northern contributes to building thriving and healthy communities where their members can achieve their dreams and build stronger, more prosperous futures.

On January 1, 2025, Northern merged with Copperfin Credit Union, creating an even stronger organization with over $2.5 billion in assets and a footprint spanning from the Manitoba to the Quebec border. With a shared focus on delivering member value, the new Northern Credit Union strives to advance its reputation as a leading financial institution in Northern Ontario offering tailored solutions and superior member experiences.

It is within this exciting context that Northern is currently seeking to find its next President & CEO.

Reporting to and working collaboratively with the Board of Directors, the CEO leads Northern’s skilled executive team and oversees the overall business affairs of the credit union in pursuit of its mission, vision, and True North Strong values. The CEO drives the strategic direction of Northern, ensuring business growth, financial strength, sustainability and responsiveness to the diverse needs of its members while leading the way for Northern to be an innovative market leader in the credit union system.

Northern’s next CEO must be a highly respected leader renowned for their outstanding strategic capability, strong business acumen, and track record of identifying opportunities for ongoing growth, profitability and client service excellence. A proven transformational leader with expertise in stewarding operational and cultural harmonization, your leadership style is characterized by empowerment, collaboration and a high level of emotional intelligence. You instil a high degree of confidence through outstanding communication skills, transparency and ability to rally staff through periods of change. A solid understanding of governance and prior experience working with or reporting to a board of directors is preferred, as is proven expertise in navigating the evolving impacts of technology on both employees and members. As an organizational ambassador, the CEO must excel in working closely with communities, identifying partnership opportunities, consistently upholding the highest ethical standards, and acting with integrity, transparency, and humility in all endeavors.
