Job description

Edmonds, WA
$130,000 – $170,000

In the coastal hum of Edmonds, where ferries stitch silver lines across Puget Sound and business relationships matter as much as the tides, this role steps into the spotlight as more than a title—it’s a force multiplier.

The Opportunity

This isn’t a “maintain accounts” kind of seat. This is a high-impact, portfolio-shaping, trust-crafting leadership role for someone who knows that banking is built on relationships that behave more like ecosystems than transactions.

As Vice President, Commercial Relationship Manager, you will serve as both strategist and steward for a diverse portfolio of commercial clients. You’ll be the connective tissue between capital and ambition, ensuring businesses don’t just bank with us, but grow because of us.

You’ll operate at the intersection of insight and influence, where every conversation has the potential to unlock expansion, stabilize complexity, or spark entirely new ventures.

What You’ll Drive

• Architect and deepen long‑term commercial relationships with business owners, executives, and key decision-makers
• Lead sophisticated credit and deposit solutions that align with client growth trajectories
• Identify opportunities before they surface on spreadsheets—reading business signals like a seasoned navigator reads water currents
• Collaborate with underwriting, treasury, and product teams to build tailored financial structures
• Act as a trusted advisor through cycles of growth, transition, acquisition, and reinvention
• Safeguard portfolio health while expanding relationship profitability and depth
• Represent the institution as a visible, respected presence in the Edmonds and greater Puget Sound business community

What You Bring to the Table

• Proven experience in commercial or middle‑market relationship management
• Strong credit acumen with the ability to interpret risk as a dynamic, not static, variable
• A natural ability to build trust quickly and sustain it over years, not quarters
• Comfort operating in complexity, ambiguity, and high‑stakes decision environments
• A mindset that blends commercial discipline with entrepreneurial curiosity
• A network‑oriented approach to business development and community engagement

Why This Role Feels Different

You won’t be boxed into transactional banking rhythms here. Instead, you’ll step into a role where:

• Clients look to you for direction, not just service
• Your judgment influences real‑world business expansion across industries
• You have the autonomy to shape relationships with meaning and momentum
• Your work visibly impacts the economic fabric of the Edmonds region and beyond

The Environment

Edmonds offers a rare blend of waterfront calm and commercial energy. It’s a place where relationships still matter face‑to‑face, where reputations travel fast, and where a skilled Commercial Relationship Manager can become a cornerstone figure in the local business ecosystem.
