  • Prepare comprehensive credit approval memoranda and portfolio reviews for presentation to Senior Credit Officers, Loan Committee, and executive management.
  • Partner closely with Relationship Managers, Credit Officers, Loan Closers, Treasury Management, Capital Markets, and external legal counsel to facilitate timely transaction execution.
  • Maintain active dialogue with private equity sponsors, management teams, financial sponsors, investment bankers, and other transaction stakeholders throughout underwriting, closing, and portfolio management processes.
  • Monitor ongoing borrower performance through quarterly and annual financial reviews, covenant compliance testing, liquidity analysis, leverage trends, operating performance assessments, and sponsor support evaluations.
  • Identify emerging credit risks, adverse trends, covenant pressures, refinancing concerns, or operational challenges, and proactively recommend appropriate risk mitigation actions.

What you'll need:

  • 4+ years of related experience in Portfolio Management or similar field.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required.
  • Intermediate knowledge of general banking operations, including deposit operations, loan administration, treasury management and/or other commercial banking products and services.
