Educational Outreach Specialist

We are partnered with a South-Florida credit union that is a leader in the industry. With nearly a billion dollars in assets and over 60,000 members, it is one of the fastest-growing credit unions in the region. The organization is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and service-oriented work environment where employees are empowered to grow their careers.

As the team continues to expand, they are looking to add an Educational Outreach Specialist to their team.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a people-focused environment, enjoys being out in the field, and can manage a high volume of independent planning, scheduling, and follow-through.
