Business Banker

You're a relationship builder, strategic partner, and business developer who thrives in a client-facing environment. As a Business Banker, you'll have the opportunity to make a direct impact by helping business owners grow and succeed while driving meaningful growth for the bank. This is a high-visibility role where you'll build strong client relationships, deepen existing partnerships, and expand your network within the community. If you're motivated by winning new business, delivering value, and being part of a growing, relationship-driven organization-this is an opportunity to invest in your career and be part of something building momentum.

The Business Banker is responsible for driving business development and revenue growth through a combination of portfolio management and new client acquisition. In this role, you will develop and execute strategies to grow business deposits, loans, and referral revenue while serving as a trusted advisor to business clients. You will leverage your credit acumen, consultative sales approach, and understanding of business banking solutions to identify opportunities, structure deals, and deliver tailored financial solutions.

This position requires a strong balance of relationship management and proactive prospecting, with an emphasis on building and leveraging both internal and external centers of influence (COIs). You will collaborate closely with internal partners across commercial banking, treasury, private wealth, mortgage and retail teams to deliver comprehensive solutions while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk, credit quality, and operational execution. Success in this role is defined by consistent performance, strong pipeline development, and the ability to deepen client relationships over time.

The Business Banking team operates with a highly collaborative, team-first mindset where success is shared and wins are celebrated. While each banker is an individual producer, the environment is built on partnership-team members actively support one another, share ideas, and work together to deliver the best outcomes for clients. Leadership is highly engaged, providing a balance of autonomy and accountability, with a focus on coaching, development, and long-term success.

This is a growth-oriented team within a business line that is continuing to expand, offering the opportunity to make a visible impact and help shape the future of the group. The culture values competitiveness, adaptability, and a strong desire to win-while maintaining a supportive environment where collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement are key.
