• Generate new business through networking, referrals, industry events, and community involvement.
• Collaborate with credit partners to structure complex transactions.
• Monitor portfolio performance while maintaining exceptional credit quality.
• Stay informed on agricultural markets, commodities, and industry trends.
• Represent the organization as a trusted advisor within the agricultural community.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of agricultural, commercial, or agribusiness lending experience.
• Strong credit analysis and underwriting skills.
• Proven ability to develop business and grow a loan portfolio.
• Knowledge of California agriculture and agricultural production is highly preferred.
• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Agribusiness, Agriculture, Business, or a related field preferred.
• Self-motivated with an entrepreneurial mindset and passion for serving agricultural clients.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive base salary of $90,000 to $200,000+, depending on experience.
• Performance-based incentives with significant earning potential.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Career advancement opportunities within a growing organization.
• The opportunity to work with one of California's most important industries while building long-term client relationships.

If you're passionate about agriculture, thrive on building relationships, and want to help shape the future of farming in California, we'd love to meet you.
