• Develop new commercial loan and deposit opportunities through networking, referrals, and business development.
• Manage an existing commercial loan portfolio while continuing to grow your book of business.
• Analyze financial statements, tax returns, and credit information to structure sound lending solutions.
• Present loan requests for approval and work closely with credit partners to ensure quality underwriting.
• Cross-sell treasury management, deposit products, and other banking services that add value to your clients.
• Monitor portfolio performance, complete annual reviews, and maintain strong asset quality.

What We're Looking For

• At least 4 years of commercial lending experience with strong knowledge of the Memphis market.
• A proven history of business development and relationship management.
• Experience with commercial credit analysis, underwriting, and loan structuring.
• Knowledge of Commercial Real Estate (CRE), C&I, and small business lending.
• A self-starter who enjoys being visible in the community and developing long-term client relationships.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

You'll have the support of an experienced team, local leadership that values your input, and the ability to make a real impact in the market you already know.
