Job description

It starts with our culture ...

Common sense has never been common.

If it were, the world would be a different place. Things would run smoothly and on time. People would do what they say and say what they do. Everything would be fair, without all the small talk. And banks would only sell you what you need. When a banker looked at a client, they wouldn’t just see a number, they’d see a dad or a mom or a graduate or a business owner. Our Bankers understand the complexities of people’s lives and offer simple solutions.

That's the basics of Relationships. Fairness. Simplicity®. When you choose our Company, you have an opportunity to make an impact beyond the walls of our buildings.

We have a long-standing commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

Product Development Analysts serve as subject matter expert for assigned products and services, collaborate with Finance to analyze data used to determine if product meets financial expectations, manage assigned vendor relationships including ongoing communication and incident escalation, assisting in testing of new and existing product enhancements, and helping with other duties as needed.
