I am working with a medium size Credit Union that has just entered the community development finance world with a spate of new ideas and its first CDFI award. They’re looking assistance with elements of two job descriptions and a recommendation for a search firm.

The first job description is for VP, Affordable Housing Mortgage Lending. The Credit Union already has a functioning mortgage department, they are FHLB and Freddie Direct members. FHA and VA certification is pending. The job description is likely to come out of the nonprofit housing field.

The second position is VP of Community Development/Business Banking. They’re looking for someone to start a small business services department, focusing on loans to non-profits and expanding to other CD loans. This person will also be responsible for a micro branch in a low income neighborhood, in partnership with a local non-profit.

Finally, they’re looking for recruiters that are active with non-profit housing and business lending organizations.

I would much appreciate your sharing your insight.
thanks,
