Hillsboro, Oregon

Asset Size: $17B

Join a Leading, Forward-Thinking Financial Institution First Tech Federal Credit Union is more than a financial institution; we're a $17 billion (and growing) member-owned cooperative powered by a people-before-profit philosophy. With a pending merger set to expand our asset size to over $30 billion, we're entering one of our history's most exciting growth phases. This is a rare opportunity to step into a critical leadership role during a transformative time, shaping our asset-liability strategy today while being positioned as part of a future succession plan for senior leadership.

• Model and evaluate scenarios to guide earnings, capital, liquidity, and interest rate risk strategies.
• Drive liquidity and capital optimization, ensuring the credit union can meet its funding needs in all market environments.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with business units, senior leadership, and external partners (Moody's, ALM First, Temenos) to deliver actionable insights and recommendations.
• Lead and develop a high-performing ALM team, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Report and present monthly to ALCO, providing clear, data-driven strategies to mitigate risk and enhance earnings.

What We're Looking For We seek an experienced ALM leader who brings both technical mastery and strategic vision. To be successful, you will have:

• 10+ years of experience with Interest Rate Risk models (ZM/Moody's, QRM, Empyrean, Profitstars, IPS Sendero, BancWare) in the financial services industry.
• Experience at a credit union, bank, or financial institution with assets of $10B+.
• 7+ years leading high-performing teams.
• Proven track record in the development of earnings, capital, liquidity, and interest rate risk strategies.
• Strong knowledge of duration, interest rate sensitivity, price elasticity, and balance sheet optimization.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field (advanced degree preferred).
• Exceptional communication skills to translate complex financial concepts for all levels of the organization.

• Succession Opportunity: This role is key to our leadership pipeline, offering long-term career growth potential.
• Impact at Scale: Your work will directly influence earnings, capital allocation, and long-term member value.
