Job description

The first. Y-12 Credit Union is expanding into the Ft. Oglethorpe community, and we're looking for the leader who will help introduce our credit union to the market from day one.

Be the First.

Not the next Branch Manager. The first. Y-12 Credit Union is expanding into the Ft. Oglethorpe community, and we're looking for the leader who will help introduce our credit union to the market from day one. As our Founding Branch Manager, you'll build and lead the team, establish community relationships, drive growth, and help shape Y-12 Credit Union's reputation in a brand-new market. Some leaders maintain what's already built. Others help build what's next.

What You'll Be Building

• Build and lead the team that introduces Y-12 Credit Union to the Ft. Oglethorpe community.
• Establish strong relationships with members, businesses, community organizations, and local leaders.
• Create a branch culture that reflects who we are and how we serve.
• Drive membership and business growth in a new market.
• Build awareness, trust, and a strong reputation for Y-12 Credit Union.
• Help create the foundation for our long-term presence in the area.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Very few Branch Managers have the opportunity to:

• Launch a new market
• Build a team from the ground up
• Shape culture from day one
• Establish meaningful community partnerships
• Leave a lasting mark on an organization's growth

You’ll have the support and resources of an established, successful credit union while helping launch our next chapter of growth.

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

You’re a strong branch leader, but you’re also a builder. You enjoy developing people, building relationships, and becoming part of the community you serve. You’re comfortable taking ownership, creating momentum, and helping turn a vision into reality. Most importantly, the idea of being the first excites you.

Build Something That Lasts

Years from now, when people talk about how Y-12 Credit Union became part of the Ft. Oglethorpe community, they'll be talking about the team, relationships, and foundation that started with your leadership. This is more than an opportunity to lead a branch. It's an opportunity to help build Y-12 Credit Union's future in Ft. Oglethorpe.
