Ready to move from managing relationships to leading a market?

Starion Bank is looking for a banking professional who wants to develop their career toward a future Market President role.

This Oakes-based agricultural banking position is part of the bank’s leadership succession planning. You’ll bring value through customer relationships, business development, and agricultural portfolio management while building the capabilities needed for broader market responsibility.

You don’t need to have held a Market President title to be considered. We’re interested in experienced bankers—particularly those with approximately five to ten years of relevant experience—who demonstrate sound judgment, initiative, and the potential to lead.

What Success Looks Like

• Customers see you as a trusted banking partner who understands their businesses.
• You generate new relationships while strengthening the existing portfolio.
• Your lending decisions reflect careful analysis and disciplined credit practices.
• You work effectively with colleagues to meet customers’ financial needs.
• You build strong connections within the Oakes community.
• You take ownership, communicate decisions clearly, and prepare for increasing responsibility.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop and manage agricultural banking relationships.
• Conduct proactive sales calls and participate in community activities.
• Manage an agricultural loan portfolio and monitor customer performance.
• Recommend appropriate banking solutions based on customer needs.
• Stay current on agricultural business conditions and economic trends.
• Follow bank policies, credit standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Develop the market understanding and leadership skills needed for future advancement.

What We’re Looking For

• Relevant banking experience, ideally with agricultural lending exposure.
• Strong relationship management and business development capabilities.
• Sound credit judgment and a customer-focused mindset.
• Self-awareness, accountability, and clear communication.
• A desire to advance into market leadership.
• A bachelor’s degree in business, finance, economics, agriculture, animal science, or a related field.

What You’ll Receive

Competitive compensation, health and life insurance, dental and vision coverage, a health savings account, 401(k) and profit-sharing options, annual incentive compensation for benefits-eligible employees, and paid vacation and holidays.
