Communications Advocate in Golden, Colorado at On Tap Credit Union

Our Story started more than 60 years ago when eight employees from Coors Brewery established the Coors Credit Union. Throughout the past six decades, membership expanded as products and services were introduced with a focus on delivering first-class financial solutions.

On Tap Credit Union was born from this rich heritage in 2017 when we changed the name from Coors Credit Union, to include all beer manufacturers, employees and enthusiasts. In fact, On Tap Credit Union now serves members who live in surrounding Colorado areas and enjoy beer and the Colorado lifestyle. Our primary goals are to be more inclusive while preserving our heritage embracing quality, enhance our attention to detail and commit to the communities where we live.

We are not the 800-pound gorilla in the credit union universe, nor do we want to be. We are a robust financial institution with a paramount vision to craft financial opportunities and bring the dream of the Colorado lifestyle to every member of our community. No matter what our members’ next adventure may be, we want to help them get there.

And today, we invite you to apply for our Communications Advocate opportunity in Golden, Colorado.

CORE VALUES

As a team member of On Tap Credit Union, you’ll come to know our K.E.G. of Excellence as the heartbeat of our organization – a set of core values that illuminate our path and guide every action and decision we make.

• Kind: Caring, Empathetic, Approachable, Ethical.
• Engaged: Build Collaborative Relationships, Continuous Personal Growth, Accountable.
• Genuine: Authentic, Honest, Humble

This is what it looks like:

Kindness is at the heart of everything we do. It’s about more than just being nice. It's about showing we are caring, empathetic, approachable, and ethical with members and each other.

Kindness is showing empathy by listening attentively to a member or colleague who's struggling and offering support. Whereas nice is just agreeing with someone to avoid conflict, even if you don't truly agree with them.

• Kindness is politely pulling someone aside and discreetly telling them they have spinach in their teeth. Whereas nice ignores the fact that someone has spinach in their teeth because it may feel uncomfortable to say something.
• Kindness is being approachable by keeping an open mind and putting yourself in someone else's shoes.
• Kindness is being caring and going the extra mile for a member or colleague.
• Kindness is being ethical and offering the product and solutions that are truly best for members and colleagues. It’s not about reaching a goal or acting quickly.

Engagement reflects our commitment to being present and proactive in our roles. It's about being fully involved in our work, our community, and our members' lives. It’s about building collaborative relationships, continuously growing personally, and holding ourselves accountable.

• Engagement is building collaborative relationships with members and colleagues, helping them through roadblocks, and celebrating successes.
• Engagement is building collaborative relationships with the community by volunteering and advocating to make a positive impact.
• Engagement is being accountable by taking ownership of work, deadlines, commitments, and even mistakes.
• Engaged is being accountable in meetings by showing up prepared, actively listening, asking questions, limiting tech distractions, and giving thoughtful feedback.
• Engagement is personal growth by proactively seeking learning opportunities and being adaptable to change.

Genuineness is about being authentic and transparent in all our dealings. It's about building trust through honesty and humility.

• Genuine is being humble by acknowledging that it is a full team effort when getting praised for a job well done.
• Genuine is giving honest feedback on a broken process or procedure. Then partnering for solutions, not assuming it is someone else’s problem.
• Genuine is authentically embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion by acknowledging and celebrating the unique perspectives and experiences of individuals.
