This is a high-impact role for a motivated individual who brings strong market knowledge, deep community connections, and a proven ability to source and structure quality commercial loans.

Position Overview:

This is an onsite role based in the DFW area and will be responsible for building a C&I loan portfolio from the ground up. While the primary focus is on C&I lending, the role may also involve a smaller portion of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans.

Key Responsibilities:

• Source, structure, and close C&I loans to new and existing business clients.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships within the DFW business community.
• Collaborate with the bank’s treasury team to provide clients with holistic financial solutions.
• Maintain a strong understanding of local market conditions, industries, and competitor trends.
• Perform credit analysis and work closely with underwriting to ensure sound credit decisions.
• Ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
• Potentially assume management or leadership responsibilities, depending on experience and performance.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Commercial & Industrial (C&I) lending.
• Strong network and presence in the DFW business community.
• Demonstrated ability to originate, underwrite, and manage C&I loan relationships.
• Familiarity with owner-occupied CRE lending is a plus.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Self-starter with strong business development acumen.
• Management experience is a plus, but not required.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.

Why Join:

• Be part of a stable and growing community bank with a significant presence in the DFW market.
• High visibility role with potential for future leadership or management opportunities.
• Supportive culture with an experienced leadership team that values integrity, client service, and professional growth.
