Build More Than a Portfolio. Build a Legacy.

In Sacramento, opportunity is growing as fast as the skyline, and we're looking for a commercial banking professional who thrives on relationships, strategy, and helping businesses achieve what's next.

This isn't a role for someone who simply manages accounts. This is for a trusted advisor who enjoys opening doors, solving complex financial challenges, and becoming the banker clients call before making their biggest business decisions.

If you love winning new business, cultivating lasting partnerships, and working alongside an exceptional credit and operations team, you'll feel right at home.

What You'll Do

As Vice President, Commercial Relationship Manager, you'll serve as the face of the bank within the business community by:

  • Developing and expanding a diverse portfolio of commercial banking relationships.
  • Generating new business through networking, referrals, centers of influence, and community involvement.
  • Structuring commercial loans, lines of credit, treasury management solutions, and deposit relationships.
  • Working closely with credit partners to analyze financial statements and structure sound lending opportunities.
  • Managing the entire relationship lifecycle, from prospecting to closing to long-term portfolio management.
  • Becoming a strategic financial resource for business owners across multiple industries.
  • Identifying cross-selling opportunities including cash management, private banking, SBA, and wealth management services.
  • Maintaining strong credit quality while balancing growth objectives.
  • Representing the bank at local business organizations, networking events, and community functions.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of commercial banking or commercial lending experience.
  • Demonstrated success developing commercial relationships and growing loan portfolios.
  • Strong knowledge of commercial credit analysis and underwriting fundamentals.
  • Experience with C&I, commercial real estate, owner-occupied, and investment lending.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
  • Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Accounting, or related field preferred.
  • Established business network within the Sacramento market is highly desirable.
Why You’ll Love This Opportunity

You'll join a respected financial institution that believes banking is still a relationship business. You'll have the autonomy to grow your book, the support of an experienced credit team, and leadership that values collaboration over bureaucracy.

Here, your success isn't measured solely by numbers. It's measured by the businesses you help expand, the communities you strengthen, and the relationships you build for years to come.

What You’ll Receive
  • Competitive base salary of $90,000 to $200,000, depending on experience.
  • Lucrative incentive and bonus opportunities.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays.
  • Professional development and leadership advancement opportunities.
  • A collaborative culture where your expertise is recognized and rewarded.
