Austin, TX
Category Banking
Job Description
Role Overview

Lead a small commercial banking team, continue producing personally, and drive lower middle-market C&I plus commercial real estate growth across the Austin metro. This is a growth-mode organization that has retained its senior producers.

What You Will Do

Carry a personal book of commercial lending and deposit relationships, manage 2–3 Relationship Managers on your team, and coordinate with the broader commercial team.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Ideal for a seasoned Austin banker with a portable customer base, a strong COI network, and prior team leadership experience — or a top individual producer ready to step up and bring one or two RMs with them.

Requirements

  • 10+ years commercial banking, commercial lending, or relationship management experience with a proven personal production track record.
  • Previous team leadership, player-coach, or lift-out experience preferred.
  • Portable customer base and demonstrated COI network in the Austin metro.
  • Strong C&I lending experience with privately held businesses in the lower middle market (typically under $100M revenue), or commercial real estate expertise.
  • Credit analysis, underwriting, loan structuring, and portfolio management fluency.
  • Deep familiarity with the Austin market — decision-makers, industries, and referral ecosystem.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, finance, banking, or a related field. Graduate school of banking is a plus.

Benefits

  • Competitive and market-leading compensation.
  • Meaningful annual bonus tied to production and portfolio metrics.
  • Team-lead override on the RMs under you.
  • Sign-on packages available for the right profile.
  • Long-term incentives available for seasoned team leaders.
