About the Role

The Company is in search of a Chief Banking Officer (CBO) to join its executive leadership team. This newly created role is pivotal in providing strategic leadership across core business lines, with a focus on retail banking, marketing, private banking, and future treasury management expansion. The CBO will be responsible for developing and executing strategies to drive deposit growth and market expansion, leading high-performing teams, and strengthening a relationship-driven, customer-first culture. The role also involves overseeing branch operations, customer experience, and sales performance, as well as building strong partnerships with local businesses and community organizations.

The ideal candidate for the CBO position at the company will have a minimum of 10 years' leadership experience in banking or financial services, with a proven track record in strategic growth, team leadership, and business development. A strong understanding of retail and commercial banking operations, experience in leading across multiple branches or regions, and executive presence with a hands-on, collaborative leadership style are essential. The role requires a candidate with strong relationship-building skills, both internally and externally, and a critical fit for a community banking environment that is relationship-driven, high visibility in the local community, and has a collaborative, family-oriented culture. While candidates from larger institutions are welcome, they must be able to adapt to a relationship-focused, community-first approach.
