• Assist your Preferred Banking Office colleagues in business development efforts and calling on clients as well as discovering new opportunities to serve the existing client base.
• Assist your Preferred Banking Office colleagues in reviewing credit requests, obtaining documentation, and coordinating with Credit Analysis and Credit Approval to ensure that the loans are high quality.
• Use critical thinking and independent judgment skills to resolve issues by arriving at alternative solutions and proposals to ensure that the loans are of high quality and that client needs are met.
• Further client relationships by bringing in deposits and referrals for wealth advisory, trust and other banking services.

• Meet the goals established in your position-specific incentive program, which will emphasize Eagle Lending production, demand deposits, money market accounts and cross-selling the full private banking relationship.
