Job Description

We're seeking a Commercial Loan Officer in North Conway, NH to develop commercial banking relationships, support commercial lending growth, and build a well-managed loan portfolio throughout the North Conway and Fryeburg market. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced lender who enjoys business development, relationship banking, and serving as a trusted financial partner within a community banking environment.

Location: North Conway, NH / Fryeburg, ME

For commercial lenders who value relationship banking, long-term customer relationships, and portfolio growth, this role offers a compelling opportunity to build a meaningful presence in the North Conway and Fryeburg market. You'll have the chance to grow a substantial book of business in a market with significant opportunity, supported by a team that prioritizes collaboration over competition. Leadership takes a long-term approach to both customer relationships and employee success, providing the resources and support needed to help lenders thrive. With continued investment in the market and a strong foundation of existing commercial relationships, the right individual will be well positioned to expand their portfolio, strengthen their market presence, and capitalize on future relationship growth opportunities.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Culture is one of the strongest reasons to consider this role. You'll join a team that values collaboration over competition, where lenders support one another, share expertise, and work toward common goals. Rather than operating in a high-pressure, individualistic sales environment, you'll be supported by experienced credit analysts, portfolio managers, and lending professionals who work collaboratively to help customers and lenders succeed. Leadership is highly supportive, decisions are made with a long-term relationship mindset, and employees are encouraged to build sustainable business rather than chase short-term wins. It's an environment where teamwork, professional development, and quality customer relationships are valued just as highly as production results. Combined with a strong reputation in the market, opportunities to build and grow a significant commercial portfolio, exposure to a diverse local business community, and an annual bonus program in addition to base salary, this role offers an exceptional opportunity for a relationship-focused commercial lender looking to build a lasting career.

What You'll Do

• Develop and grow commercial banking relationships with business owners throughout the market.
• Originate, structure, and manage commercial loans from initial prospecting through closing and ongoing portfolio management.
• Analyze financial statements, cash flow, credit quality, and overall lending risk.
• Prepare loan presentations and recommendations for approval.
