Job description

More than 130 years ago, we started with core values that never go out of style: listen, learn and help businesses and individuals reach their goals.

With more than $15 billion in assets and over 150 locations throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California, we understand our role in the economy and take that responsibility seriously. In addition to offering a source of capital to personal banking clients and businesses of all sizes, we place a high importance on employee volunteerism and donate millions of dollars each year to community organizations.

As a Client Relationship Consultant II, you’ll play a key role in supporting clients through meaningful financial conversations and exceptional service. You’ll help guide individuals and families toward the products, tools, and support they need while contributing to the daily success of the branch.

• Identify opportunities to deepen relationships and refer clients to partners across Commercial Lending, Treasury Management, Mortgage Lending, and Investment Services.
• Process financial transactions accurately, including deposits, withdrawals, check cashing, and loan payments.
• Balance your cash drawer with accuracy in currency and coin handling.
• Communicate proactively with clients to educate, resolve issues, and strengthen loyalty.
• Hold scheduled and walk‑in appointments to uncover needs and provide tailored solutions.
• Open new accounts, maintain existing accounts, and resolve account‑related issues while ensuring compliance with policies and regulations.
• Support lending activities by answering client questions, completing loan applications, and preparing documentation.

What we're looking for

• You have a High School Diploma or G.E.D. (Required).
• You bring 2 or more years of experience as a banker, client relationship consultant, or in a similar sales role with established goals (Required).
• An equivalent combination of education and experience can be considered in lieu of a degree.

What helps you shine

• You bring intermediate knowledge of retail banking products, policies, systems, and account types, including more complex accounts.
• You can review client credit data and financial information to identify needs and recommend solutions.
• You understand consumer and business lending best practices and enjoy supporting lending conversations.
• You’re skilled in consultative selling, cross‑selling, and developing referral networks.
• You build strong client relationships through excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• You manage multiple priorities with ease and adapt quickly to changing client or branch needs.
• You are confident using Microsoft Outlook, Word, and related business tools.
