Job description
Mortgage Loan Officer / Branch Manager - New London
Fulltime Salary Exempt Management New London, New London, OH, US
Lead a New Branch. Build Relationships. Grow Something Great.
We’re opening a new Firelands Federal Credit Union branch , and we’re looking for an experienced Mortgage Loan Officer and people leader who is excited about the opportunity to help us build something from the ground up.
This isn’t your typical Branch Manager position.
We’re looking for someone who brings strong mortgage lending experience , understands how to develop lasting relationships, and is ready to take the lead in growing a new branch within the community. You’ll have the opportunity to combine your lending expertise with branch leadership—developing your team, growing relationships, and helping members find financial solutions that make a meaningful difference.
What You’ll Do
In this unique dual role, you will:
Lead the day-to-day operations and overall success of a new branch
Develop, coach, and support a strong, member-focused team
Build relationships and establish Firelands FCU within the local community
Identify opportunities to grow branch membership, deposits, loans, and relationships
Originate mortgage loans and guide members through the home lending process
Develop mortgage business through community involvement, referrals, networking, and relationship building
Identify additional lending and financial opportunities based on each member’s individual needs
Create an exceptional member experience and set the standard for your team
Build relationships with local businesses, community partners, real estate professionals, and other referral sources
Ensure branch operations meet established expectations for service, compliance, productivity, and performance
The Experience We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who already understands mortgage lending and is ready to bring that experience into a broader leadership opportunity.
Previous Mortgage Loan Officer experience
Strong knowledge of mortgage lending, origination, and the overall lending process
Proven ability to develop business and build a strong referral network
Leadership, supervisory, or team development experience
Experience working toward production, sales, or growth goals
A relationship-focused approach—you enjoy discovering what people need and finding the right solution
Strong communication skills and the confidence to build relationships both inside and outside the Credit Union
A genuine interest in being involved in the community and helping grow a new market
The ability to balance mortgage production with the leadership and operational responsibilities of managing a branch
Why This Opportunity Is Different
You won’t be stepping into an established branch and simply maintaining what already exists.
You’ll have the opportunity to help shape a new Firelands FCU branch from the beginning —building your team, developing community relationships, growing mortgage business, and creating an experience that makes members want to come back.
If you’re an experienced Mortgage Loan Officer who loves lending but is also ready for an opportunity to lead, develop people, and have a bigger impact , this could be the next step you’ve been looking for.
At Firelands FCU, we believe in people helping people —and we’re looking for someone who is ready to bring that philosophy to life in our newest branch.
