Support team leadership initiatives and contribute to long-term succession planning
Partner with lenders and internal stakeholders to evaluate and structure deals within the bank’s credit culture
Qualifications:
5–10 years of commercial credit or underwriting experience
Experience in a generalist commercial banking environment with exposure to both C&I and CRE
Strong credit judgment and ability to think independently
Experience mentoring or developing junior credit staff
Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience
Preferred Attributes:
Collaborative, team-oriented mindset
Interest in long-term growth within a community bank environment
Ability to operate in a credit-first, relationship-driven culture
This is an opportunity to join a stable organization that prioritizes internal development, mentorship, and long-term career growth within a community banking model.
