• Monitoring existing loan relationships and identifying potential concerns before they become issues.
• Collaborating closely with Commercial Relationship Managers to structure profitable lending solutions.
• Reviewing covenant compliance and portfolio performance.
• Assisting with annual credit reviews, renewals, modifications, and portfolio management.
• Providing recommendations that balance sound credit judgment with exceptional customer service.
• Staying informed on market conditions, economic trends, regulatory requirements, and industry developments.
• Mentoring junior credit analysts while serving as a technical resource across the credit department.

The ideal candidate is analytical, detail-oriented, and confident making recommendations backed by sound financial analysis.

Qualifications include:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related field.
• 4+ years of commercial credit analysis experience within a bank or financial institution.
• Strong understanding of commercial lending practices and underwriting principles.
• Experience analyzing financial statements, tax returns, cash flow, and collateral structures.
• Knowledge of commercial real estate, C&I, and owner-occupied lending is highly preferred.
• Excellent written communication with the ability to prepare detailed and persuasive credit presentations.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
• High level of accuracy, integrity, and professional judgment.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and financial analysis software.

You enjoy solving financial puzzles, asking thoughtful questions, and turning complex financial information into clear lending recommendations. You're collaborative by nature, communicate effectively with lenders and leadership, and understand that exceptional credit analysis is both an art and a science.

• Competitive salary of $75,000-$90,000
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Generous paid time off and holidays
• Career advancement and leadership development opportunities
