Member Advocate

Description Overview: Listerhill Credit Union is a financial cooperative whose primary purpose is to help our members live financially healthy lives. In 1952, seven Reynolds Metals employees deposited $5 each with the idea of starting a credit union that was member-owned and member-focused. Helping co-workers break from predatory lenders to borrow affordably and save for their financial futures, was their motivation. We have grown from a single office at Reynolds Metals to 18 branches throughout northwest Alabama and south-central Tennessee. Today, we serve 13 counties with a full line of financial solutions. Our purpose and commitment to financial health has never changed. We recognize what is good for our members is good for us. We aspire to high standards of integrity, excellence, and passion. Furthermore, we strive to be innovative for the members’ benefit and engaged in the betterment of their communities. The Role: Your efforts and ultimate successes should be measurable and recognizable as you strive daily within LCU’s vision: “to value people over profit, proactively seek improvement, work passionately, exceed expectations, and make our community a better place”. Member Advocates are empowered advisors who will guide members in their financial journey. An Advocate serves our membership throughout their visit, thus developing a relationship, finding ways to say yes, owning needs, and solving problems. The driving force of an Advocate will be to improve the lives of those within their community by promoting the Listerhill story.
