  • Provides day-to-day technology support for all aspects of computer and technology devices.
  • Manages the IT systems within the credit union. In-depth knowledge needed on the various systems in place and how they connect to each other.
  • Provides support on special projects and implementation of new systems.
  • Leads the ongoing enhancements, administration, and special projects for existing programs such as Banking System (DNA), Customer Relationship Management (Doxim CRM) , Content Service Platform (OnBase) and the migration of systems to Cloud based platforms.
  • Supports new developments and ongoing management of existing analytics programs and ensures that the information is correct and useful for users. A high degree of data analytics fluency is required for the success of this position.
  • Promotes Unity Credit Union and maintains active involvement in the organization and community.

 

Compensation:  Unity Credit Union offers a competitive total rewards package.  Salary will depend on qualifications and experience.  Benefits include a matched pension plan; group benefits (health, dental, life, disability and critical illness insurance), and paid community involvement.

 

Qualifications:  Grade 12 diploma plus one to three years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.  Two years of post-secondary education in technology would be beneficial.

 

The Credit Union: Unity Credit Union is a successful rural-based credit union with assets over $350 million and 34 employees serving 5000 members.  Our vision is, “Partnering to Achieve Success and Build a Better Community” and that is how we work and serve every day.
