The Work

As part of a growing and dynamic Commercial Portfolio Management team, the Senior Commercial Account Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of an assigned group of lending partners and associated portfolio of mortgages, from funding through maturity. The Senior Account Manager’s portfolio will be comprised of complex construction, renovation, and portfolio mortgages secured by all asset classes and ranging in size from $5.0 million to $50.0 million. Participation in syndicated transactions of $150.0 million or more can also be expected. The Senior Account Manager will deliver superior customer service by understanding, and responding to, the needs of the client by way of underwriting renewals, assumptions, refinances, loan modifications, etc. in an effort to meet annual retention targets. Work product must adhere to established policies and underwriting standards and meet compliance and control requirements.

The Senior Account Manager must ensure that risk associated with their portfolio is comprehensively controlled and within the Bank’s risk appetite and that loans remain in compliance with lending parameters by way of completion of annual reviews. Additional credit-related and administrative duties are also required such as subsequent advances, reporting and pipeline management, as well as networking with external business partners along with various staff within the Commercial department & other internal departments.

The Senior Account Manager will be viewed as a subject matter expert and will be looked upon to provide training and mentorship to junior members of the team, especially as it relates to the nuances associated with construction lending. The Senior Account Manager will also be expected to play an important role in the advancement of high priority projects within the department and organization.
