Sunmark Credit Union, a financially stable and community-rooted institution serving New York’s Capital Region for more than 85 years, is seeking a strategic and forward-thinking Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join its Executive Leadership Team. This is more than a finance role — it is a seat at the table, a succession-minded leadership opportunity, and a chance to influence the long-term direction of a thriving, member-owned cooperative.

The Role

Reporting directly to the President/CEO, the CFO is a strategic partner and enterprise leader responsible for the credit union’s financial strength, balance sheet strategy, and risk framework. Just as importantly, this individual builds and develops high-performing teams, fosters accountability (“See It. Own It. Do It.”), and models a culture of excellence and service. 

What You Bring to The Table

You are a strategic financial leader who sees beyond the numbers. You understand how to leverage the balance sheet to drive growth, manage risk, and position an institution for long-term success.

8+ years of senior-level financial leadership within a bank or credit union 

Deep expertise in ALM, liquidity strategy, investments, and enterprise risk

Confidence in presenting to the Board and partnering with regulators

A strong foundation in accounting and finance (Bachelor’s required)

A collaborative leadership style that develops talent and builds accountability.

What The Position Brings

Executive Influence: A true strategic seat at the table, reporting directly to the CEO.

Stability with Momentum: A long-standing institution with strong community roots and a forward-looking strategy.

Impact and Visibility: Direct interaction with the Board, regulators, and community stakeholders.

Leadership Depth: Oversight of Vice Presidents of Accounting & Finance and Risk Management.

Community Engagement: Active involvement in the communities Sunmark proudly serves

Succession-Oriented Opportunity: Cross-training to learn CEO functions as part of long-term organizational planning
