Overview
The Consumer Lending team at UW Credit Union is growing! We are hiring for a Spanish-Bilingual Consumer Lending Specialist level II to join our team, and help our members achieve their financial dreams!
As the Consumer Lending Specialist, along with your teammates, you will play a vital role in the review and approval of member consumer loan applications. UW Credit Union members rely on your expertise and decision-making skills to guide them in the right financial direction. Communication skills are key - as all of your member interaction will be via phone or email. You will also be tasked with identifying and successfully referring additional UW Credit Union lending products or services that may benefit members. If you are an adaptable and driven professional, who enjoys making a difference while having fun at work, this is the job for you!
Consumer Lending Specialists see every 'you' - from helping a member with an auto loan, a credit card application, a personal loan, to a home equity line of credit. UW Credit Union Lending Specialists are not solely driven by sales results. True to our reputation, Lending Specialists at UW Credit Union take time to provide quality solutions unique to each member. Humanity counts most to us - while sales goals are a part of the role, Lending Specialists are never pressured to make a recommendation that is not in the member's best interest.
Would you describe yourself as solutions-oriented, empathetic, and naturally inquisitive? Do you shine when it comes to providing absolutely top-notch customer service? Do you have a desire to collaborate with your peers, and contribute to a culture of growth and innovation? Are you motivated and inspired when you see your work making a positive impact on member's lives? Do you have a natural ability to influence others? Do you have lending experience? If your answer is 'yes', then you may be our next Consumer Lending Specialist!
We are accepting applications until April 30th at 5pm.
