Job Description

 

Commercial Loan Officer – Community Banking with Big Impact

Are you an experienced commercial lender who thrives on building relationships and closing deals—without losing that community-bank feel? Our client, a well-respected billion-dollar community financial institution, is expanding its commercial division and seeking a proven Commercial Loan Officer to help lead the charge.

This is an opportunity to join a bank that’s big enough to serve larger commercial clients, yet small enough to keep decision-making local. You’ll be part of a growth-focused team that values autonomy, accountability, and strong community ties.

What You’ll Do:

  • Grow and manage a diverse commercial loan portfolio (CRE, C&I, middle market)

  • Develop new client relationships while deepening existing ones

  • Drive proactive business development and cross-sell opportunities

  • Monitor loan performance, manage risk, and maintain regulatory compliance

  • Be a visible leader in the local business community

What’s in it for You:

  • Competitive salary + incentives for closed loans

  • Comprehensive benefits: vacation, health, dental, vision, life insurance, and ESOP participation

  • Strong work-life balance and a supportive team culture

  • A seat at the table in a growing commercial division with room to advance

  • Growth mindset, movers and shakers, "if you're not moving, you're dying"

What We’re Looking For:

  • 8+ years of active commercial lending experience in community banking or credit union setting with true business development goals

  • Track record in business development & credit risk assessment

  • Strong background in CRE lending and ability to handle larger, more complex client situations

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or Accounting preferred

  • Commitment to community involvement and relationship-driven banking

Your confidentiality is assured. If you’re ready to combine community impact with career growth, we’d like to connect with you.
