The Kindred Charitable Fund Committee approved $100,000 in grants for 2024, and more than $1.57 million since 1999. A total of 205 groups have benefited from these grants, which have impacted people and communities across Ontario.

The Opportunity

The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) reports to the Board of Directors and is primarily responsible for providing strategic direction and leadership, ensuring that senior management translates and operationalizes the broader organizational strategy into sound business plans while clearly articulating the purpose of the organization among its team, members, various constituencies, and stakeholders.

The CEO is responsible for effectively integrating and coordinating various functions, including liaising with industry partners, suppliers, competitors, regulatory authorities, and professional societies, and acting as a representative of the credit union. The CEO ensures sound financial management and business growth and an effective system of communication throughout the credit union.

Key Functions

The CEO is accountable to the Board of Directors for the successful performance of the credit union by completing the following key job functions:

  • Lead the organization in the planning, development, implementation, and management of strategies necessary to attain Kindred’s goals and objectives.
  • As a visionary, represent and promote the purpose and values of the credit union within the ever-changing sector of Ontario Financial Institutions.
  • Promote a culture around management and decision making that reflects Kindred’s values while building its financial and operational strength.
  • Ensure organizational compliance both with policies and Board of Director mandates, as well as within the laws and regulations governing credit unions.

Reporting Lines and Teams

The CEO works closely with and reports to the Board of Directors. All day-to-day management performed by the CEO is supported through the involvement of ten direct reports, including seven members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and the Director, Internal Audit, Corporate Secretary, and Executive Assistant rounding out the team.
The SLT is a talented and passionate group that is committed to Kindred’s strategy as they bring their many years of experience to their roles each day. This group is comprised of the following roles:

  • Chief Finance and Compliance Officer
  • Chief Technology and Innovation Officer
  • Vice-President, Credit Risk
  • Vice-President, Engagement and Values
  • Vice-President, Agriculture and Commercial Banking
  • Vice-President, Member Relationships
  • Vice-President, Strategy Development and Delivery

Current Priorities at Kindred

As part of the onboarding process, priorities, and challenges congruent with Kindred’s strategic plans will be set in collaboration with the incoming CEO. The following three categories outline priorities for the CEO given the challenges facing credit unions and recognizing potential areas for improvement within the organization.

Internal Operating Considerations

  • Motivate the organization to continue to develop enterprise agility. This includes leveraging best practices for planning, agile project management, and lean process improvement, allowing Kindred to accelerate opportunities for revenue growth without adding undue costs and/or resources.

External Operating Considerations

  • Increase Kindred’s brand exposure. Grow awareness of Kindred’s unique and distinct value proposition and brand to continue driving the organization’s accelerated pace of growth within the credit union sector.
  • Diversify lending and revenue streams. Reduce the risk of loan concentration while expanding Kindred’s profitability and impact by seizing opportunities to expand into new/growing sectors and increasing service offerings.
  • Develop a business strategy which mitigates risks and captures opportunities around credit union partnerships and consolidation in the market.

Strategic Positioning

  • Understand and embrace the current Strategic Plan for 2025. Manage operations proactively and accurately measure and report on Kindred’s results against the 2025 Strategic Pan. Develop the strategic plan beyond 2025 in collaboration with the SLT and Board of Directors.
  • Advocate for, and advance, Credit Unions within the community and larger bank sector. Member-owned banking is underrepresented in the Canadian banking sector and provides an extraordinary opportunity for people to connect to their communities while generating bank profits which are returned to members.

The Individual

The CEO brings extensive experience at the executive level within a financial institution environment and an ability to build and maintain trusted relationships and balance a diverse set of expectations. Serving as a key representative of the credit union, the CEO will possess the expertise and gravitas to function as a leading spokesperson for a diverse set of stakeholders, while championing a collaborative, team-oriented, management style focused on consensus-building.
