Build Relationships. Drive Growth. Leave a Legacy.

An exceptional opportunity awaits a high-performing commercial lending executive ready to operate at a strategic level while still owning the art of relationship banking. We are seeking a Senior Vice President, Commercial Lender to take the reins in The Woodlands market—someone who thrives on building a portfolio, leading with insight, and delivering tailored financial solutions that fuel business success.

This is more than a production role. It is a seat at the table. A platform to influence growth, shape credit strategy, and deepen market presence with a respected and well-capitalized institution.


What You’ll Do

  • Own and Grow a High-Value Portfolio
    Develop, manage, and expand a commercial loan portfolio with a focus on middle-market and corporate clients across diverse industries.
  • Be the Trusted Advisor
    Cultivate long-term relationships with business owners, executives, and key stakeholders by understanding their goals and delivering customized financing solutions.
  • Drive New Business Development
    Proactively source new lending opportunities through networking, referrals, and community engagement—your name should open doors.
  • Structure Sophisticated Credit Solutions
    Analyze complex financials, structure deals, and present credit opportunities with confidence and precision.
  • Partner with Credit & Leadership Teams
    Collaborate closely with underwriting, credit administration, and executive leadership to ensure sound risk management and strategic alignment.
  • Lead with Market Intelligence
    Stay ahead of economic trends, industry shifts, and competitive dynamics to position the bank as a premier lending partner.
  • Mentor & Influence
    Act as a leader within the organization—guiding junior lenders, sharing expertise, and contributing to a culture of excellence.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of progressive commercial lending experience with a strong production track record
  • Proven ability to develop and manage a portfolio in excess of $75MM+
  • Deep expertise in credit analysis, structuring, and risk assessment
  • Established network in the Greater Houston / The Woodlands market
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to navigate complex client needs
  • Executive presence with polished communication and negotiation skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, or related field (MBA preferred)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Elite Compensation – Base salary of $180K–$210K plus aggressive incentive structure
  • Strategic Influence – Direct visibility with executive leadership and decision-making authority
  • Market Opportunity – The Woodlands continues to be one of the most dynamic and affluent business corridors in Texas
  • Relationship-First Culture – A bank that values long-term partnerships over transactional wins
  • Stability & Growth – Strong balance sheet, forward-thinking leadership, and a clear path for continued expansion

The Bottom Line

If you are a seasoned commercial lender who knows how to balance production with precision, and relationships with results, this role offers the runway to elevate your career into true executive territory.

Bring your portfolio. Bring your perspective. Build something that lasts.
