What are the responsibilities and job description for the Branch Manager position at Highland Consulting Group?
Branch Manager
Location: Allentown, PA
This is a highly visible leadership role in a community-minded bank, reporting directly to the Chief Retail Officer. The ideal candidate for the Branch Manager role will be professional, poised, and community-minded — someone who can represent the bank as a market champion, fostering relationships, driving deposit growth, and strengthening the bank’s local presence.
Why This Role Stands Out
If you’re an experienced Branch Manager looking for a role where your leadership directly influences both the client and employee experience — while giving you the autonomy to shape business development efforts in your market — this could be the next step. You’ll be the face of the bank across southern Lehigh County and northern Bucks County, engaging with customers, businesses, and community partners to drive growth and deepen relationships.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead business development and deposit-gathering efforts through community engagement, networking, and relationship management.
- Oversee daily branch operations, ensuring compliance with regulatory, security, and operational standards.
- Provide strong leadership to a team of 6–8 employees, including an Assistant Manager, Head Teller, and Universal Bankers.
- Drive a culture of performance, engagement, and customer focus.
- Maintain a keen awareness of the local market to identify opportunities for growth and brand visibility.
Qualifications
- College or equivalent level courses in business, finance, or related areas of equivalent job-related experience.
- Minimum 5 years of leadership or supervisory experience within a financial institution.
- NMLS registration, Notary Public, and Medallion Stamp certification required (or ability to obtain).
- Strong communication, relationship-building, and leadership skills.
Compensation & Benefits
As required by local law, Highland Consulting Group believes $80,000–$90,000 to be a reasonable starting base compensation for this role, for individuals hired into this position in geography that require salary range disclosure. We also understand that this salary may be complemented by the following, for which the individual may be eligible:
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid time off and sick leave
- Discretionary annual bonus opportunities
- Retirement savings plan with employer match
