Job Description

#WeAreHiring: Private Banking Relationship Manager, High-Net-Worth Farm Families 🚜

Some of the wealthiest families in the Plains run farms, ranches and agribusinesses, and they want a banker who speaks their language. gpac is recruiting now for community banks ($5B or less in assets, most under $2B) in rural Kansas, South Dakota and nearby states that are adding private bankers. You'll be the single point of contact for a select book of high-net-worth ag families, with local decision-making and incentive pay for the relationships you grow.

✨ Why This Role Stands Out

  • Active opening at a community bank building its private banking team.
  • Base salary plus incentive on deposits, loans and referrals.
  • A select, high-touch book of clients instead of a high-volume branch role.
  • Local decisions and a full bank behind you: lending, treasury, trust and wealth.

🔑 Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and manage relationships with high-net-worth farm families, landowners and agribusiness owners.
  • Deliver personal lending (including land, residential and custom credit), deposits and cash management.
  • Bring in trust, wealth and ag lending partners for a full family relationship.
  • Grow deposits and loans through prospecting and referrals from CPAs, attorneys and current clients.
  • Keep in close contact with clients, including farm and ranch visits.
  • Manage credit quality and compliance on your portfolio.

🎯 What You Bring

  • 5+ years in private banking, personal or ag lending, or relationship management with high-net-worth clients.
  • Credit skills: reading personal and business financial statements and tax returns, and structuring loans.
  • A proven record of growing deposits and loan balances.
  • Comfort with ag clients and farm finances (ag lending background a strong plus).
  • Bachelor's degree in business, finance, agriculture or a related field.

💼 Compensation & Benefits

  • $80,000 – $125,000 base, plus incentive.
  • Full benefits: health, dental, vision, life insurance, and HSA.
  • 401k.
  • Paid vacation and holidays.

This role is based in the Hays, KS area. We list the nearest larger town to keep our client's search confidential. The exact location will be shared during your first confidential conversation. Not in the Hays area? I have similar private banking needs at community banks in other Kansas and South Dakota markets too, so reach out either way.

Your confidentiality is assured.
