Job Description

Commercial Banking Associate

About the Role

This role sits at the center of the bank’s commercial lending function — supporting the flow of deals from initial request through closing and beyond.

It’s a strong fit for someone who has worked in loan operations, processing, or administration and is ready to deepen their understanding of how a commercial bank actually runs.

You won’t be boxed into one lane here. This position offers exposure across lending, operations, and internal coordination, making it an ideal step for someone who wants to grow within banking over time.

What You’ll Do

  • Support the commercial lending team with loan processing, documentation, and file management
  • Coordinate with lenders, credit, and operations to ensure loans move efficiently from application to closing
  • Review loan files for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with internal standards
  • Assist with boarding, funding, and ongoing servicing activities
  • Track deal progress and help identify bottlenecks before they become problems
  • Serve as a key internal point of contact for loan-related requests and follow-ups
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready documentation across the life of the loan

What They’re Looking For

  • Experience in loan operations, loan processing, loan administration , or a similar banking support function
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple files at once
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities
  • Naturally organized — someone who keeps things on track without being asked
  • Clear communicator who can work across teams (lenders, ops, credit, etc.)
  • Motivated to build a long-term career in banking

Why This Role

This is not a narrow back-office position.

It’s an opportunity to:

  • Gain a full-picture understanding of how commercial loans move through a bank
  • Work closely with experienced lenders and leadership
  • Build a foundation that can lead to multiple career paths over time — whether in operations, lending, or beyond

The Bank

A community-focused institution with a strong commercial lending presence and a reputation for being nimble, collaborative, and low on bureaucracy. The team operates with a get-it-done mindset and values people who take ownership of their work.
