Who We’re Looking For

You’re a strategic leader who drives production across loans, deposits, and assets under management while setting referral goals that align with office-wide targets. Business development and proactive calling activity are part of your rhythm, and you lead with clarity and consistency. Team development is a strength—you delegate by client segment, coach with purpose, and create a culture of accountability and retention. You manage the pipeline with discipline, ensure CRM accuracy, and oversee opportunities through underwriting, approval, and onboarding. Cross-functional collaboration is second nature. You work closely with internal partners in wealth planning, trust, investments, and deposit services to deliver holistic client solutions, while maintaining strong regulatory and credit compliance.

  • Oversee associate onboarding, recruitment, coaching, career pathing, and retention to build a high-performing, growth-focused team.
  • Ensure pipeline discipline, accurate forecasting, and CRM best practices while guiding opportunities from application through approval and onboarding—including reviewing and releasing underwriting and credit analysis.
  • Maintain oversight of portfolio administration and compliance, including pricing guidance, relationship reviews, loan tracking, covenant monitoring, collateral exceptions, and documentation standards.
  • Expand client relationships by introducing new product strategies and reducing attrition, while partnering with internal experts in wealth planning, investment management, trust, and depository services to build comprehensive financial solutions.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in business or related experience
  • 10–15 years of business development or client development experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
