Candidates currently serving as senior Relationship Managers or team leads who have demonstrated leadership ability and are ready to move into a formal management position may also be considered.

Preferred Business Characteristics

The strongest candidates will have experience working with privately held businesses and commercial clients requiring a combination of:

• Commercial loans
• Commercial real estate financing
• Depository relationships
• Treasury management
• Other business banking services

Candidates should understand how to build complete banking relationships rather than focusing exclusively on loan production.

Not a Fit If You

• Come primarily from retail branch banking without meaningful commercial experience
• Prefer managing operations rather than developing business
• Have limited experience with commercial credit
• Do not enjoy coaching and holding producers accountable
• Want a highly centralized environment where most decisions are made several levels above the market
• Are looking to step away from business development

Compensation

Base salary range is $127,475–$184,838, depending on experience, skills, education and other relevant factors.

The position is also eligible for an annual performance-based incentive. Total compensation can increase meaningfully based on center and individual performance.

Confidential Closing

This is a confidential opportunity for a commercial banker who wants meaningful responsibility for a market, team and business rather than simply managing an existing portfolio.

Experienced commercial banking leaders as well as high-performing Relationship Managers ready for their first significant leadership opportunity are encouraged to explore the position.
