We’re seeking an experienced Commercial Lender to help businesses across the Twin Cities flourish through responsive, relationship-based banking.
This role is based in our North Oaks branch and is a great fit for someone who knows—and is connected to—the northern suburbs community. You’ll join a team that values responsiveness, collaboration, and authentic partnership with the businesses we serve.

In this role, you’ll build and maintain strong banking relationships, ensure client satisfaction and retention, acquire new clients, actively network and engage with the community, and apply sound risk management.

We’re seeking candidates with mid-level experience (5–15 years) at the VP/SVP level. You’ve been in the role long enough to know you love it—and want to make a career of it. Ideal candidates are relationship driven and hard-working, have demonstrated strengths in sales and local market commercial lending, committed to networking and building client relationships, possess strong knowledge and experience in small to mid-sized business lending, and enjoy working in an environment of collaboration with other lenders, credit and loan servicing teams.

• Competitive salary and benefits package: Salary range and incentives commensurate with qualifications, education, and experience. Benefits include a 401(k) match; medical, dental, vision, disability, accident/critical care, and life insurance; HSA with generous company contribution; flexible spending accounts; employee assistance; employee donation match, paid volunteer time, education reimbursement; and paid time off.
• Emphasis on career growth and development.
• A strong focus on local business lending across the seven-county metro area. We offer C&I, CRE, and SBA Preferred Lender loan products, along with robust deposit and cash management solutions delivered by a top-notch team.

Bank Cherokee is a trusted financial partner of choice for small businesses across the Twin Cities. With more than a century of experience as a family‑owned, people‑first company, we’re not just a bank; we’re a small business ourselves.
