Who We Are

At Seattle Bank, we think boldly. We are a boutique bank with a big vision for how we serve our clients and our community. With a motivated and forward-thinking team, we are building the modern banking business model in effort to deliver the highest value to our clients, community and shareholders. Our specialty is serving clients with complex, interwoven banking needs and giving them the peace of mind that only exceptional service can provide. Complex transactions - both loans and deposits - are routine at Seattle Bank. When we collaborate with clients and professional advisors to solve their specific problems, they see us not as their banker, but as an extension of their team. We set goals, work hard and reward a job well done - together. As a lean team, we do our work with directness, efficiency and transparency. Seattle Bank provides tremendous opportunities for eager and entrepreneurial professionals who want to be part of reimagining our industry and building a new kind of financial institution.

Position Summary

Seattle Bank is hiring a Senior Vice President and Market Leader to head our Private, Specialty Mortgage and Commercial Banking teams. This is a new position created to further support the on-going growth of the Bank. The Market Leader will report to the CEO.

We're looking for a high performing banker to leverage their sales, relationship, and leadership experience to drive the growth of our boutique bank offering. The Market Leader will inherit a strong team that is highly regarded in the market for the ability to work with high-value clients and their trusted advisors. The goal is to provide this team the resources and support as we look to increase our reach, while also recruiting new team members to expand our capacity. Additionally, the Market Leader will be a primary representative of the Bank in the market and community, helping to increase brand awareness, cultivate new relationships and surface high value business opportunities.

Strong candidates will exhibit the capability to build and lead great teams, will have high sales energy, and be very effective at collaboration.

This is a unique opportunity for a highly capable, motivated and collaborative person to join a uniquely positioned company and establish themselves as an industry leader.

• You are deeply connected in the Greater Puget Sound area, with demonstrable networks in the sector of closely-held/family-owned businesses and/or professional services supporting high net worth individuals and families and the wealth advisor/registered investment advisor community.
