Senior Commercial Lender

Senior Commercial Lender – Oklahoma City Metro Area | Full-Time | On-Site

I'm currently working with an Oklahoma based bank that is seeking a Senior Commercial Lender for a position in the Oklahoma City Metro. With several decades of consistent profitability, this institution ranks among Oklahoma's largest banks, with several billion in assets, dozens of locations statewide, and a top-tier financial rating. They're expanding their OKC commercial banking presence and offer lenders the capacity and credit appetite to compete for meaningful deals.

The Role
This is a production-focused seat for a seasoned banker who can walk into a cold business development call just as comfortably as they can analyze a complex credit. You'll build and manage a commercial loan portfolio across a variety of deal types, working with a strong credit team and a bank that has the appetite to do real business.

Key Responsibilities

• Prospect, develop, and close new commercial banking relationships in the OKC Metro
• Originate and structure C&I, owner-occupied CRE, construction, and line of credit loans
• Prepare and present well-supported credit memos with thorough financial analysis
• Manage and monitor an existing portfolio with proactive risk oversight
• Cross-sell treasury, deposit, and business banking solutions to deepen client relationships

Qualifications

• 7+ years of commercial lending experience with strong production and portfolio management track record
• Solid credit acumen — financial statement analysis, cash flow, loan structuring, and risk assessment
• Proven ability to independently develop new commercial business
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, or related field
• Established OKC-area network and experience with ag, energy, or SBA lending a plus

Why This Role? A high-autonomy lending seat at a financially strong, community-minded institution with competitive incentive compensation and a culture where top producers are recognized and empowered.
