A well-capitalized, community-focused bank in Kansas City, MO is seeking a Commercial Loan Officer to lead local business development and portfolio growth across the metro area.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and manage a high-quality portfolio of commercial loans

  • Analyze credit and financials to structure sound, creative loan packages

  • Maintain portfolio profitability, credit quality, and compliance benchmarks

  • Collaborate with credit analysts, support staff, and senior management to deliver exceptional client experiences

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in commercial lending at a community or regional bank

  • Strong understanding of credit, financial statements, and business lending structures

  • Established relationships or market knowledge in the Kansas City business community

  • Excellent relationship-building, problem-solving, and communication skills

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in finance, business, or related field

Why Join This Bank?

  • Long-tenured team with a supportive, family-oriented culture

  • Strong reputation throughout the Kansas City business community

  • Competitive compensation, full benefits, and meaningful incentives

  • Real autonomy and flexibility to shape your own portfolio and market strategy
