• Engage clients in proactive financial conversations using the Banner Way process and tools.

• Answer questions, troubleshoot client account issues, and ensure prompt resolution.
• Maintain an in‑depth understanding of operational processes, compliance requirements, and security standards.
• Serve as acting manager in the absence of the Branch Manager.

What we’re looking for

• You have a High School Diploma or G.E.D. (Required).
• You bring 6 or more years of retail banking experience (Required).
• You have experience in a supervisory or management role leading a project, process, or team (Required).
• An equivalent combination of education and experience can be considered in lieu of a degree.

What helps you shine

• You’re confident navigating complex accounts and have experience with consumer and QuickStep lending.
• You excel in client service and relationship building, with strong communication skills in person, over the phone, and via email.
