Private Banker & Market Leader

ABOUT CENTRAL BANK

Central Bank is a relationship-driven institution that pairs the responsiveness of a community bank with the depth of a full wealth, trust, and private banking platform. We compete on what the national players struggle to deliver in Southwest Florida: local decision-making, direct access to senior bankers, and continuity of relationship over time. For affluent clients and the business owners and professionals who advise them, that combination is the difference between being a client and being a number.

We are building our presence in the Naples and Bonita Springs market, one of the most competitive and rewarding wealth markets in the country, and we are looking for a leader to anchor it.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Private Banker & Market Leader is a player-coach role: you will personally build and manage a portfolio of high-net-worth client relationships while leading the growth, performance, and reputation of Central Bank in the Naples market. This is a rare combination of personal production, local leadership autonomy, and access to a full fiduciary wealth and trust platform - without the layers of approval and handoffs that frustrate top producers at larger institutions.

The right person is a credible advisor in their own right, a respected presence among Naples-area centers of influence, and a leader others want to follow. You will own the market, shape the team, and have the platform and decision-making latitude to deliver for clients.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

Client Relationship Management & Personal Production

• Develop, manage, and grow a personal portfolio of high-net-worth client relationships through proactive outreach, referrals, and tailored financial solutions.
• Serve as the lead trusted advisor across clients' banking, credit, deposit, and wealth needs, coordinating specialists to deliver an integrated solution.
• Structure and manage private banking credit, deposit, and treasury relationships, growing both sides of the balance sheet.
• Identify and act on opportunities to deepen relationships and connect clients to the bank's wealth management, trust, and investment capabilities.

Market Leadership & Team Development

• Serve as the senior Central Bank presence in the Naples market, setting the tone for growth, service, and professionalism.
• Align local team members around shared growth objectives, disciplined business development, and service excellence.
• Coach, mentor, and influence bankers and partners to strengthen sales effectiveness and relationship management - leading through credibility and example, not title alone.
• Contribute to market strategy, talent development, and the bank's competitive positioning in Southwest Florida.

Partnership, Centers of Influence & Community Engagement

• Build and maintain relationships with attorneys, CPAs, family offices, and business leaders who serve and refer high-net-worth clients.
• Partner closely with lending, treasury management, wealth management, and trust colleagues to deliver comprehensive, seamless client solutions.
• Represent Central Bank visibly in community and professional organizations across the Naples and Bonita Springs market.

Risk, Compliance & Service Quality

• Ensure all activity complies with applicable banking regulations, including Bank Secrecy Act / AML requirements and information security standards.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Within the first 12 to 18 months, the Market Leader will have established a growing book of high-net-worth relationships, measurable deposit and loan growth in the market, an active and reciprocal network of centers of influence, strong client retention, and a local team operating with a clear, shared sense of direction.

CORE QUALIFICATIONS

• Proven success in private banking, commercial banking, or wealth management relationship development, ideally serving high-net-worth clients.
• Strong business development skills, with an established network in the Naples / Southwest Florida market or a demonstrated ability to build one quickly.
