Strong communication, follow-through, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Experience
Formal credit training or experience as a Credit Analyst or Portfolio Manager
Exposure to SBA 7(a)/504, equipment financing, and both owner-occupied and investment CRE
Success developing COI networks and generating new business
