Why this role matters Commercial real estate financing can help businesses grow, strengthen local economies, and deepen long-term member relationships. As a Business Services Officer III, you'll guide some of Truliant's largest and most complex commercial relationships, pairing advanced credit judgment with thoughtful, full-service financial solutions. This role is a strong fit for an experienced commercial lender who enjoys building markets, solving complex challenges, and serving as a trusted resource to colleagues and business members.
What you'll do You'll own sophisticated commercial real estate relationships from initial opportunity through closing and ongoing portfolio management. Working with credit, legal, operations, and partners across Truliant, you'll structure sound solutions, grow profitable relationships, protect portfolio quality, and help strengthen the capabilities of the broader commercial banking team.
Day to day, you'll: - Lead complex commercial real estate opportunities, including borrower analysis, structuring, pricing, negotiation, credit presentation, documentation coordination, closing support, and ongoing relationship management.
- Build and expand high-value relationships through disciplined business development, market outreach, centers of influence, and collaboration with branch, deposit, treasury, SBA, consumer, mortgage, wealth, and other internal partners.
- Monitor complex portfolios for performance, covenant compliance, concentration risk, financial reporting, annual reviews, and emerging credit concerns while mentoring lenders and contributing to lending strategy, policy, products, and process improvements.
What you'll bring You're an accomplished commercial real estate lender who can balance growth, member service, relationship profitability, and disciplined risk management. You communicate clearly with borrowers and senior stakeholders, exercise sound judgment with limited supervision, and bring structure to complex transactions.
