Bank Accounting and Finance Operations Officer (formally, the Bank Cashier)

Job Overview
We are seeking a career-minded, dedicated, and detail-oriented Bank Officer to join our management team. The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in managing many "high level" accounting and finance functions typically attributed to senior bank management and to the formal role of Bank Cashier, both at the bank and at the holding company level. This role requires a strong banking background, a strong accounting/bookkeeping background, and a strong compliance background. We are a unique, truly local bank, located in the mountains of Estes Park, Colorado, with a strong culture of serving our clients, our community, our employees, and our shareholders--therefore, an attitude of service is vitally important in order to fit into our high performance culture. The current officer is planning to retire in 2026, so we are hiring with time to overlap in order to ensure that we maintain our extremely well-run operations. In other words, the right candidate will be shown the current processes and procedures, with ample time to overlap. This is a rare opportunity to join the best little bank, in the best little mountain community, anywhere...
