Commercial Loan Officer

About

We have a great opportunity for an experienced Commercial Lender with knowledge of the Southern New Hampshire market, including Concord, Manchester, and the Seacoast.

Our client is a well-established regional community bank seeking a Commercial Lender to join its commercial banking team. This role is ideal for a relationship-focused lender who understands local businesses and centers of influence and has the ability to identify, structure, and execute commercial transactions. While a strong C&I background is preferred, experienced generalist lenders with C&I lending experience will also be considered.

If you’re a Commercial Lender with strong credit acumen, a history of developing new relationships, and the ability to independently structure and negotiate commercial transactions, our client would be interested in talking with you.
