What Does a Commercial Relationship Manager Do?

Prospecting and onboarding new commercial clients, managing an existing portfolio of commercial relationships, presenting loan structures and credit proposals, cross-selling treasury management and other bank products, managing portfolio risk and early warning indicators, and building community business relationships.

What We Screen For

5–10 years of commercial banking experience, demonstrated portfolio development and management capability, credit analysis fundamentals, and strong relationship management skills. Commercial credit training programme background is a positive signal.

💡 Hiring Insight

$85,000 – $150,000
Senior commercial bankers with established portfolios in target markets command the top of this range plus incentive compensation.
