TREASURY SALES ASSOCIATE

• Salary, Exempt
• Average pay between 50k - 65k annually
• Eligible for bank-wide bonus up to 8%
• Benefits start first month

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We're looking for a Treasury Sales Associate to join our team at our headquarters located just north of downtown Grand Rapids.

As a community bank, we're dedicated to supporting our customers and helping them thrive. In this role, your focus is on new and existing business customers. Your mission is simple - connect them to the treasury products that allow them to handle their business more efficiently and securely.

By partnering with Treasury Sales Officers, lenders, and branch personnel, you will provide support during sales conversations and assist with preparing presentations and proposals. Not only are you required to be administratively capable, but you'll also need to be a resource of extensive product information.

This role will take you to customer visits across the greater West Michigan area where you'll use your power to connect, build relationships, and uncover opportunities. We take pride in selling the right product for the customer's needs and you will represent the Bank with integrity. Your strong organizational skills and quick follow-up will ensure a successful hand-off to our implementation team.

This role requires you to be knowledgeable in all the products (primarily online systems) that we offer, and while prior knowledge of treasury management and banking is helpful, it's not required.

Someone who enjoys technology and is naturally curious is likely to thrive in this position. We have many solutions available, and are continuously adding to, refining, and upgrading our product lineup.

You won't know everything right away, but by working onsite and going on customer calls with more senior Treasury Sales Officers, you will have the opportunity to manage your own book of business in the future. You'll be expected to be in-office for the first few months while you're learning the ropes, and after will be eligible to work from home 20% of the time.

This entry level treasury sales position is perfect for someone who enjoys technology, uncovering and pitching solutions, and is energized by supporting customers and building relationships. While you'll be assisting the Treasury Sales Officers with their portfolios, you will not just be sitting behind a desk. This is a customer facing role and we're looking for someone who is excited to get out there and build their career in treasury sales.

TO SUM UP:

We're looking for someone who:

• Has a high aptitude for technology and learning new systems
• Has experience in a sales related role, or a minimum of 2 years customer service experience
• High school diploma or GED required, with a bachelor's degree in business related field strongly preferred (or equivalent work experience)
• Ability to work in an office environment M-F 8am-5pm (eligible to work from home 20% after 90-days)
• Professional demeanor (attendance, appearance, interpersonal), and excellent verbal/written communication skills
• Banking and/or Treasury experience preferred
• Preference for candidates open to obtaining Certified Treasury Professional (CTP)

WHO WE ARE:

Mercantile Bank was born in 1997 by a group of West Michigan bankers with a goal to deliver financial solutions that empower people and businesses to achieve their dreams - all while bettering the lives of its employees and their communities. Since then, we have grown to over 40 locations, 5.25 billion in total assets, and nearly 700 employees. We're now the largest bank headquartered in Michigan and while we're proud of our growth, we are steadfast in remaining a community bank. We focus on relationships, building partnerships, and ensuring we don't lose the "small-bank" edge that makes us flexible, quick, and able to invest back into the community through our strong local ties. Our focus on technology and innovation has carried us through challenging times and is part of what makes us able to compete with the big guys.

Our success doesn't come by accident - our people show their integrity in every interaction. We believe in hiring people based on their character and teaching them the Mercantile specific skills they need to be successful. We firmly believe in developing our people and promoting from within whenever possible.

Our reputation as a great place to work didn't just happen either. Our intentional efforts and investment in providing benefits, compensation, and a culture of continuous learning is why we're able to attract and retain incredible people from inside and outside the corporate banking industry. We're proud (but honestly not that surprised) to be one of West Michigan's Best and Brightest Companies to Work for, 16 years and counting.

We hope you'll consider joining our team and making your personal and career goals come true.

We also strongly believe that embracing human diversity makes us a better bank. We know it makes us better people.
