Job Description

Commercial Lender (Generalist)

Location: Dunwoody or Duluth, GA
Compensation: Market-based (DOE)
Incentive Plan:

• 1% of SBA loan volume

• 15% of fees on conventional loans

A True Community Banking Opportunity

If you’re a relationship-driven commercial lender who values autonomy, support, and long-term stability, this is a rare opportunity to join a $1.2B asset, family-owned community bank that blends the capabilities of a larger institution with the feel of a local bank.

This is not a transactional production shop. It’s a full-relationship banking platform where lenders are empowered to build meaningful, long-term client partnerships.

What Makes This Different?

Real Lending Authority

• In-house lending limit up to $26MM

• Average deal size of $8MM–$10MM

• No excessive bureaucracy

You’ll have the ability to structure meaningful transactions without layers of red tape.

Strong Support Structure

• Team of 4 experienced lenders

• 4 dedicated local underwriters

• Full operational and treasury support

You focus on relationships and production — the infrastructure is already in place.

Full Relationship Banking Platform

You’ll have access to a complete treasury management suite comparable to larger banks, allowing you to truly compete in the market while maintaining community bank responsiveness.

Lending Focus

The bank is actively focused on:

• Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate

• SBA lending (7(a), 504, USDA)

• C&I lending

• CRE

Current market emphasis is SBA and owner-occupied transactions.

Production Expectations

• Typical market conditions: $25MM–$30MM annually

This is achievable production with the right relationships — not unrealistic volume pressure.

Who Thrives Here?

This role is ideal for a true Community Banker — someone who:

• Is currently at a community bank or has significant recent community bank experience

• Values long-term client relationships over transactional volume

• Understands both sides of the balance sheet (loans and deposits)

• Wants the feel of a close-knit team without sacrificing product capability

Why Bankers Stay

• Family-owned culture with long-term vision

• Leadership with deep, established market connectivity

• Respectful, relationship-first environment

• Strong employee retention — people who join tend to stay

This is a place where you’re treated like a professional, not a number.
