• This position provides competitive pay, retirement, health, vision, and dental benefits.

Work Location: This is a remote position primarily located in West Michigan.  In-state travel, including overnight, is required, as well as some out-of-state travel for training.  You will perform portions of examinations at credit unions and complete assignments at your official workstation (i.e., home).  This position is responsible for examinations in West Michigan, as well as additional examinations at credit unions located throughout the state as assigned.

Work must be performed in the state of Michigan.  If you currently reside outside of Michigan, you must relocate to Michigan to perform the duties of this position.  Relocation expenses are not reimbursed.
