Build More Than Loans. Build a Legacy.

In Wenatchee, relationships matter. Businesses grow on trust, conversations happen face-to-face, and banking still feels personal.

• Develop, manage, and grow a diverse commercial loan portfolio with a strong focus on relationship banking
• Proactively source new business through referrals, networking, and deep community engagement
• Structure and negotiate commercial loans including C&I, owner-occupied real estate, and investment real estate
• Analyze financial statements, cash flow, and collateral to assess credit risk and opportunity
• Prepare and present clear, compelling credit packages for approval
• Partner closely with credit, operations, and leadership to deliver a seamless client experience
• Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, providing insight beyond the transaction

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of commercial lending or relationship management experience
• Strong credit acumen with the ability to balance growth and risk
• A proven track record of portfolio growth and client retention
• Exceptional communication skills and confidence in front of clients and credit committees
• Deep appreciation for community banking and local market engagement

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• A strong, relationship-driven bank with local decision-making
• Competitive base salary plus performance incentives
• Autonomy to build your book and your reputation
• Supportive leadership that values integrity, insight, and initiativeThe chance to make a visible impact in the Wenatchee business community
