Chief of Staff

Chief of Staff to the Chief Lending Officer

Are you the person who makes everyone around you more effective? If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love bringing order to complexity, and take pride in being the organizational backbone of a high-performing team — this role was built for you. Join a rapidly growing, Inc. 5000-recognized community bank and become the right hand to a dynamic Chief Lending Officer at a pivotal moment in the bank’s growth.

What’s in it for you

• Competitive compensation
• High visibility and direct access to senior leadership from day one
• A role with genuine long-term runway — grow within the Chief of Staff function or use this as a launchpad into other areas of the bank
• A seat at the table during an exciting period of growth at one of the fastest-growing community banks in the country

This role will be responsible for

• Owning and protecting the CLO’s calendar end-to-end, plus scheduling support for up to three additional lenders
• Serving as the communication bridge between the lending team and key departments including loan operations, deposit operations, credit, and treasury
• Managing travel logistics primarily for the CLO, with occasional support for other lenders
• Coordinating client events, team gatherings, and offsites from planning through execution
• Attending select internal meetings to capture notes, track action items, and ensure follow-through
• Supporting the team’s EOS cadence — L10 meetings, quarterly sessions, and one-on-ones
• Handling administrative tasks and paperwork that currently pull lenders away from client-facing work

Expectations will include

• Proactively resolving scheduling conflicts and protecting the CLO’s time without requiring his involvement in routine decisions
• Disseminating process updates and policy changes from other departments to the lending team quickly and clearly
• Drafting internal communications, meeting recaps, and follow-up correspondence on behalf of the CLO
• Maintaining a high standard of discretion and confidentiality — this role carries access to sensitive calendar and operational information
• Operating autonomously with strong judgment and minimal hand-holding
• Building trust quickly with the CLO, lenders, and cross-functional department partners

A qualified candidate will possess the following

• 5+ years in an executive assistant, chief of staff, office manager, or similar senior support role
• Demonstrated experience managing complex calendars and travel logistics for senior leaders
• Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook and Zoom; familiarity with Salesforce or nCino is a plus
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail — you catch things others miss
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; polished and professional in all correspondence
• Ability to support multiple leaders simultaneously without dropping the ball
• Familiarity with EOS tools (Ninety.io, Bloom Growth, EOS One) is a bonus, not a requirement
• Banking or financial services experience is welcome but not required — the right person brings exceptional support skills and a desire to learn

*Candidates must be eligible to work in the US as well as meet the qualifications listed above in order to be considered for the Chief of Staff job.
