Job Description

Senior Vice President, Information Technology Full-Time | Utah First Credit Union | Salt Lake City HQ

WHO YOU ARE

You've been around the block (in a good way), and you have the experience to back it up. You've built things, fixed things, or improved systems, so you know what success looks like and how to get there. But what sets you apart isn't just what you know. It's how you show up! You bring perspective, ask smart questions, think a few steps ahead, and make things better for the team and the people we serve. It's also how you bring people along with you. You lead with empathy and make those around you better at their jobs, sometimes without them even noticing.

• You've got 10+ years of experience in information technology
• You've gotten to know Symitar and Jack Henry as if they were your best friends
• You take ownership of projects, processes, and outcomes
• You've leave things better than you found them
• You practice what you preach and lead by example
• You know when to push, listen, or rethink
• You care about the mission as much as the metrics

THE DIFFERENCE YOU'LL MAKE

Every role at Utah First ties back to the same mission: being significant in the lives of our members, employees, and communities. Senior roles help us make sure we're walking the walk, not just talking the talk. As SVP, Information Technology your work shapes how we operate and how our members experience us. That's a big deal! Instead of just executing, you'll help us improve how things work, make better decisions, and help us show up stronger for the people we serve.Here's what that looks like day to day:

• Guide technology strategy and investment decisions, balancing innovation with operational stability and long-term sustainability through a tremendous growth cycle.
• Provide senior leadership oversight of core systems and vendor relationships, ensuring strong performance, scalability, and value realization.
• Build, mentor, and lead high performing technology leaders and teams, creating a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

THE BIG PICTURE

Utah First has been in the business of saying yes since 1935, when a group of immigrants who couldn't get loans anywhere else decided to build something better than a bank. Today, we're a member-owned credit union obsessed with helping people with colorful credit histories, big dreams, and complicated lives find financial products that fit. We believe in making banking feel human and putting people over profits, and we count on every member of our team to make that happen. That's where you come in!
