Can You See Around Corners?
Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President of Risk serves as a strategic leader responsible for strengthening Vibe Credit Union's enterprise-wide risk framework. Partnering closely with executive leadership and business units, this leader will oversee enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance, business continuity, vendor management, and operational resilience while supporting the credit union's strategic objectives.

This role extends well beyond regulatory oversight. The VP of Risk will collaborate across the organization to develop practical risk solutions that enable innovation, strengthen governance, and embed sound decision-making throughout the organization.

At Vibe Credit Union, risk management is about more than compliance - it's about protecting the trust members place in the organization while helping the credit union grow responsibly and confidently. The successful candidate will balance prudent risk management with strategic business partnership to support Vibe's continued success.

Can We Grow Together?
The ideal candidate is a collaborative leader with 5–10 years of progressive risk management experience within a financial institution, including expertise in enterprise risk management, compliance, governance, and operational risk. Candidates should possess a strong working knowledge of NCUA regulations and federal and state laws governing credit unions, along with at least five years of leadership experience. Credit union experience is strongly preferred. A bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Risk Management, Law, or a related field is required, while a Juris Doctor (J.D.) or other advanced degree is preferred.

Beyond technical expertise, this leader will build trusted relationships across the organization, communicate effectively, and bring sound judgment to complex business decisions. They understand that great risk management doesn't slow an organization down - it helps it move forward with confidence.

As Vibe Credit Union continues to grow, the Vice President of Risk Management will play a key role in strengthening governance, supporting strategic initiatives, and helping the organization serve its members with confidence for years to come.
