• You bring 4 or more years of experience as a banker, client relationship consultant, or in a related sales role with established performance goals (Required).
• An equivalent combination of education and experience can be considered in lieu of a degree.

What helps you shine

• You have advanced knowledge of retail banking products, systems, and procedures.
• You’re comfortable working with complex account types such as Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Guardianships, and Court‑Blocked accounts.
• You can analyze credit data and financial information to recommend thoughtful, client‑focused solutions.
• You bring strong sales, cross‑selling, networking, and referral management skills.
• You build trust easily through excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication.
• You thrive in a fast‑paced environment, balancing multiple priorities with flexibility and accuracy.
• You’re confident using Microsoft Outlook, Word, and related business and communication tools.
