Chief Risk Officer

Enrichment Federal Credit Union is seeking a strategic, operationally minded Chief Risk Officer (CRO) to serve as a key member of the executive leadership team. Reporting directly to the CEO, the CRO will provide enterprise leadership across risk management, compliance, operational risk, organizational resilience, and other critical areas that support the credit union's long‑term performance and responsible growth.

This opportunity calls for an executive who brings more than traditional risk and compliance expertise. The successful candidate will understand how a credit union operates across the enterprise and will be comfortable working at the intersection of risk, operations, strategy, people, technology, and execution.

As Enrichment Federal Credit Union continues to evolve, the CRO will help strengthen the infrastructure, discipline, and operational resilience necessary to support sustainable growth. This executive will serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO, Board, and executive leadership team while maintaining appropriate independence as the organization's enterprise risk leader.
