???? Houston, TX
???? $170,000 – $190,000

Step into a high-impact leadership role where relationships are currency, strategy is second nature, and your lending expertise fuels the growth of businesses shaping the Texas economy. We’re seeking a dynamic Senior Vice President, Commercial Lender to bring vision, discipline, and deal-making prowess to a thriving commercial portfolio in one of the nation’s most powerful financial markets.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a market-moving, portfolio-building, trust-cultivating opportunity for a seasoned lender who thrives at the intersection of business development, credit excellence, and executive-level client advisory.

???? What You’ll Do

You’ll be the architect of meaningful financial partnerships—cultivating long-term relationships with middle-market and commercial clients across industries such as energy, manufacturing, real estate, healthcare, and professional services. Your day-to-day is a blend of high-level strategy and hands-on execution:

• Originate, structure, and close sophisticated commercial loans that balance risk intelligence with growth ambition
• Serve as a trusted advisor to business owners, CFOs, and executive teams navigating expansion, acquisitions, and capital restructuring
• Lead complex credit analyses and present compelling, well-supported loan packages to credit committees
• Build and manage a robust portfolio of commercial clients while actively sourcing new business opportunities across the Houston market
• Collaborate with credit administration, underwriting, treasury, and private banking teams to deliver seamless client solutions
• Monitor portfolio performance with a sharp eye on risk mitigation, covenant compliance, and long-term relationship health
• Represent the bank in the community, industry events, and networking environments as a senior ambassador of the brand

???? What You Bring

You are more than a lender—you are a deal strategist, relationship builder, and financial storyteller.

• 8+ years of commercial lending or commercial banking experience with a strong track record in production and portfolio growth
• Deep understanding of credit structuring, financial statement analysis, and risk assessment
• Proven ability to source and close complex commercial loans in competitive markets
• Exceptional relationship-building skills with a natural ability to earn trust at the C-suite level
• Strong negotiation instincts and the confidence to guide clients through high-stakes financial decisions
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or related field (advanced degree or banking certifications a plus)

???? Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll be stepping into a platform designed for impact—where your network, expertise, and ambition directly translate into influence and earnings. Houston’s dynamic economy provides a constant flow of opportunity, and this role positions you at the center of it.

Here, success is measured not just in deals closed, but in relationships strengthened, businesses grown, and communities supported.

???? Compensation & Growth

• Competitive base salary: $170K – $190K
• Performance-based incentives aligned with production and portfolio growth
• Executive visibility and long-term leadership trajectory within the organization
