Who We're Looking For

You're detail-oriented and service-driven, with a solid foundation in loan support and a passion for helping clients succeed. From preparing loan files to monitoring past dues and covenants, you're someone who keeps processes organized and accurate.

You bring a team-first mindset, strong communication skills, and a client-focused approach to every interaction-whether it's with a colleague or a client. If you're eager to grow your lending knowledge and support a high-performing Relationship Banking team, this role is for you.

About the Role

The Loan Associate plays a critical role in supporting the full lifecycle of loans after origination. This role handles a wide range of operational tasks, including loan boarding, funding, payment processing, collateral tracking, and paid loan documentation.
