Senior Loan Officer

Ag & Commercial Lender (VP | SVP)

📍 Sterling, Colorado

Build relationships. Grow communities. Make an impact where it matters.

At First FarmBank, we don’t just finance operations—we partner with producers, business owners, and families to help them grow, adapt, and succeed for generations. With deep roots in agriculture and rural Colorado, our approach is simple: practical solutions, local decision-making, and relationships that last.

We’re expanding our lending team in Sterling and are looking for a relationship-driven Ag & Commercial Lender who wants to be part of a bank where your voice matters and your work directly impacts the community.

 Why This Role Stands Out

• Flexibility in title and scope – We’re hiring at multiple levels (Loan Officer through SVP) to align with your experience and portfolio
• Autonomy support – Local decision-making backed by a strong, collaborative credit culture
• True community banking – You’ll see the direct impact of your work with customers you know
• Growth-oriented environment – Whether you’re building your career or expanding an established portfolio, we invest in your success

What You’ll Do

• Develop and manage a diverse portfolio across ag, commercial, real estate, and consumer lending
• Build lasting relationships with farmers, ranchers, and business owners
• Structure and analyze credit with a focus on long-term success—for both the customer and the bank
• Participate in loan discussions and contribute to sound credit decisions
• Identify opportunities to deepen relationships through additional bank services
• Stay active and visible in the agricultural and local community

 What We’re Looking For

We’re intentionally open to a wide range of candidates, including:

• Experienced lenders with established portfolios
• Relationship bankers ready to grow into a lending role
• Early-career professionals or recent grads with ag or financial backgrounds

Helpful experience includes:

• Background in Agribusiness, Finance, Accounting, or related field
• Knowledge of agricultural and/or commercial lending
• NMLS license (or willingness to obtain)
• A strong work ethic, curiosity, and commitment to community

Compensation & Benefits

• $65,000 – $150,500 , depending on experience and portfolio
• Performance-based incentives
• Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, retirement, PTO, and more)

 Why First FarmBank?

We’re a growing community bank that believes in doing things the right way—supporting our customers, empowering our team, and strengthening rural communities. Here, you’re not just another lender—you’re a trusted partner and a valued voice.
