Relationship Manager, Business Banking

---

Job description

Hingham's Specialized Deposit Group (SDG) is looking for a Relationship Manager to take responsibility for some of the Bank's most significant business, institutional, government, and private client banking relationships. You will be responsible for new business development, as well as managing some existing relationships with key customers and their staff. You will be the key point of contact for these customers at Hingham, responsible for handling the full range of their deposit banking needs and coordinating lending or technology support where needed. The SDG is co-located with the Commercial Real Estate Group in Hingham and also works closely with this team to deliver deposit services to commercial borrowers. Although we are almost 200 years old, we have a small, entrepreneurial team - just under 100 people - and we hold each other to high standards.

In this rapidly developing period of economic uncertainty, we believe that there is a substantial opportunity for growth and our team is working to take advantage of that.

Hingham prides itself on a flat corporate structure and our bankers are entrusted with considerable responsibility for business development and customer service. The SDG also plays an important role in our ongoing product development and process improvement efforts, aimed at providing a higher level of service to our customers, and may be responsible for identifying, testing, and delivering new products and services for our customers.

Responsibilities - What You'll Get to Do

• Manage Existing Relationships: You will serve as the primary banker for a portfolio of the the Bank's most significant business, institutional, government, and private client banking relationships. We'll assign you to work side-by-side with an existing relationship manager until you've learned our products and systems and we've gained trust and confidence in your abilities. You'll be responsible for coordinating their needs within the Bank, opening and closing accounts as necessary, and handling some of their basic needs relative to our digital products. You'll also be responsible for identifying opportunities to deepen our relationships with these clients through additional deposit/payments business or via our Retail Banking and Commercial Lending Groups.
• Business Development: You will develop new relationships through both individual and team business development activities, with a strong focus on our existing customer verticals (property management, municipalities, commercial real estate, non-profits). It is critical that you enjoy actively prospecting for new business, as this is the heart of the role.
• Find Problems and Devise Solutions: As we grow alongside our customers, their needs change and our products and services must evolve. You will facilitate delivery of our digital products, including online and mobile banking, payments services (wire, remote deposit capture, ACH, and lockbox) in conjunction with our Digital Banking Group and third party vendors. These solutions solve real problems for our customers and it is critical we stay engaged with them to ensure that our products are meeting their needs. We'll also expect you to provide input to our product and process development process over time based on our customers' experience.
