Senior Member​/Business Development Lead

At Education First Credit Union (EFCU), we believe financial well-being creates opportunities, strengthens families, and builds stronger communities. That's why our mission is to enhance our members' financial position through education, quality service, and value-minded products.

Founded in 1936 by a small group of Columbus City School teachers, EFCU was built on the belief that people are stronger when they help one another. Nearly 90 years later, that belief continues to shape who we are and how we serve.

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we're different from traditional banks. Our focus is on people, not shareholders. We believe in building relationships, providing financial education, and helping our members make informed financial decisions. We're proud of our roots in education and our continued commitment to the schools, individuals, and communities we serve.

We're looking for someone who shares that passion for people, enjoys making connections, and sees the value in bringing opportunities to others.

If you believe in building relationships that matter, strengthening communities, and helping people discover the value of credit unions, we'd love to meet you!

As a Senior Member Development Lead, you'll be an ambassador for EFCU and the credit union philosophy in the communities we serve. You'll help introduce individuals and organizations to the benefits of credit union membership while building meaningful partnerships that support our mission.

This role goes beyond traditional business development. You'll spend your time connecting with school leaders, community organizations, prospective members, and existing members to understand their needs and identify opportunities to make a difference.

From coordinating financial wellness presentations and representing EFCU at community events to developing long-term partnerships and encouraging membership growth, your work will help more people experience the value of being part of a credit union.

You'll also work closely with teammates across EFCU, because creating a positive member experience doesn't happen in one department. It takes all of us working together.
