• Monitor loan performance and proactively manage risk and portfolio quality
• Work with clients to resolve issues, including delinquencies or loan restructuring
• Partner across the organization by referring clients to other banking services
• Represent the bank at community events, trade shows, and networking opportunities
• Contribute to projects, committees, and initiatives that support the Lending Division

Education & Experience

• Detail-oriented with sharp analytical and decision-making skills

Tools of the Trade

• Comfort using standard office equipment and systems

More Than a Job

This role goes beyond the desk:

• Participate in community and CRA initiatives
• Engage in ongoing training and professional development
• Be part of a team that values collaboration, growth, and impact

Work Environment

You'll work in a professional office setting with a supportive team and opportunities to connect both inside and outside the organization.

Why This Role?

If you're looking for a position where you can:

• Build meaningful client relationships
• Make informed, strategic decisions
• Contribute to real business growth
• Be visible in your community
