Commercial Lender - Tallahassee, Gainesville and Jacksonville
Job Description:
Were looking for a market‑building commercial banker to help lead the continued expansion of Tallahassee, Jacksonville or Gainesville, FL.

What You'll Do
- Have a major part in the continued building of either the Tallahassee, Jacksonville or Gainesville, FL commercial presence
- Drive new commercial relationships across CRE and growing C&I opportunities.
- Inherit an existing portfolio of Commercial customers to expand relationships.

- Grow and deepen a portfolio of business owners, investors and key COIs.
- Partner closely with credit, portfolio management, and treasury as the platform continues to scale.
- Serve as a voice to senior leadership, bringing market intel and shaping strategy.
Why This Role Stands Out
- An opportunity to step into an underpenetrated market, not a legacy book with 20 bankers chasing the same deals.
- Quarterly incentives with real upside... High performers have earned up to 100% of base.
- A platform investing heavily in commercial banking.
- New treasury leadership, expanding PM/credit support and the ability to offer full‑relationship banking,
What Were Looking For
- Strong commercial banking experience in CRE, C&I, or both, with a track record of originating and managing quality relationships.
- Tallahassee or Panhandle, Jacksonville or Gainesville market knowledge and COI relationships.
- A builders mindset - Comfortable with autonomy, ambiguity, and creating structure.
- A relationship‑first operator who can handle executive conversations, deliver tough messages well and build long‑term trust.
- Someone who appreciates stability yet wants the challenge and upside of growing a commercial franchise.
