C&I Lender

C&I Commercial Loan Officer (Community Bank)

Are you a relationship-driven commercial lender who enjoys working directly with business owners to help them grow? A respected, community-focused bank is seeking a C&I Commercial Loan Officer to build and manage a strong portfolio of local business relationships.

This is not a high-pressure, cold-calling sales role. Success here comes from face-to-face conversations, trusted advisory relationships, and a deep understanding of both the local market and sound credit fundamentals.

What You’ll Do:

• Build, manage, and grow a portfolio of C&I commercial loans

• Develop new business through strategic calling, referrals, and community presence

• Meet with business owners to understand their goals and structure appropriate financing solutions

• Maintain strong credit quality, profitability, and compliance benchmarks

• Collaborate closely with support staff and executive management

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of commercial banking experience in the local market

• Existing portfolio of C&I business clients

• Strong knowledge of credit, financial analysis, and lending structures

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Effective negotiation and relationship-management abilities

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent education and related experience

Why Join This Bank?

• Family-oriented culture with exceptional employee tenure

• Strong reputation in the local business community

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

• A stable, relationship-focused environment where lenders are valued
