• Prepare and present loan packages for approval
• Monitor loan performance and proactively manage risk and portfolio quality
• Work with clients to resolve issues, including delinquencies or loan restructuring
• Partner across the organization by referring clients to other banking services
• Represent the bank at community events, trade shows, and networking opportunities
• Contribute to projects, committees, and initiatives that support the Lending Division

What Makes You a Great Fit

You’re more than just numbers you’re a communicator, a strategist, and a trusted advisor.

Education & Experience

Skills That Set You Apart

• Solid knowledge of regulatory and compliance requirements
• Detail‑oriented with sharp analytical and decision‑making skills

Tools of the Trade

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
• Comfort using standard office equipment and systems

This role goes beyond the desk:

• Participate in community and CRA initiatives
• Engage in ongoing training and professional development
• Be part of a team that values collaboration, growth, and impact

Why This Role?

If you’re looking for a position where you can:

• Build meaningful client relationships
• Make informed, strategic decisions
• Contribute to real business growth
• Be visible in your community

…then this is your chance to step into a role that truly matters.
