Job description

Build Relationships. Drive Growth. Make an Impact.

Some people see commercial banking as transactions. You see it as partnerships.

We're seeking a seasoned VP Commercial Relationship Manager who thrives on connecting with business owners, understanding their goals, and delivering financial solutions that help companies grow, expand, and succeed. This is an opportunity to become a trusted advisor to middle-market and commercial clients while building a portfolio that creates lasting value for both customers and the bank.

If you enjoy meaningful conversations, strategic problem-solving, and helping businesses navigate opportunities and challenges, this role offers the perfect blend of relationship management, business development, and financial expertise.

What You'll Do

As a VP Commercial Relationship Manager, you'll serve as the primary point of contact for commercial clients, guiding them through financing solutions, treasury management services, and long-term banking strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and manage a diverse portfolio of commercial banking relationships.
• Build trusted partnerships with business owners, executives, and key decision-makers.
• Identify lending opportunities including commercial real estate, C&I, owner-occupied, and working capital facilities.
• Collaborate with credit partners to structure sound lending solutions.
• Generate new business through networking, referrals, community involvement, and strategic prospecting.
• Conduct financial analysis and assess creditworthiness of prospective and existing clients.
• Deepen relationships through treasury management, deposits, and additional bank products.
• Maintain regular client contact and proactively address financial needs.
• Negotiate terms and pricing while balancing customer service with risk management.
• Monitor portfolio performance and ensure ongoing credit quality.
• Represent the bank within the Boise business community and professional organizations.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
• 5+ years of commercial banking relationship management experience.
• Proven success developing and growing commercial lending portfolios.
• Strong knowledge of commercial credit analysis and underwriting principles.
• Experience with C&I, commercial real estate, and owner-occupied lending.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to simplify complex financial concepts into practical solutions for clients.
• Established business development mindset with a consultative approach.
• Strong understanding of financial statements, cash flow analysis, and risk assessment.
• Knowledge of the Boise market is highly preferred.

What Success Looks Like

The most successful people in this role don’t lead with products. They lead with curiosity.

They ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, understand what keeps business owners up at night, and create solutions that help clients move forward with confidence. They become trusted resources, not just bankers.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Competitive base salary of $150,000 - $175,000
• Strong support from experienced credit and operational teams
• Established commercial banking platform with growth potential
• Opportunity to work with respected businesses throughout the Boise market
• Retirement savings program with company contribution

Ready to Grow Something Bigger?

If you're a commercial banking professional who values relationships as much as results, this is your opportunity to join a team where expertise, integrity, and client success drive every decision.
