- Maintain the loan portfolio through proactive administration, including tracking past dues, maturing loans, covenants, exceptions, and annual reviews.
- Support cross-selling efforts by identifying new lending opportunities for existing clients and introducing additional bank products.
- Collaborate with Relationship Bankers and internal teams to support new business development for both existing and prospective clients.
- Provide training and guidance to Credit Analysts and Loan Associates, while ensuring compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
