Commercial Relationship Manager – Destination & Tourism-Based CRE Lending
Location: Sevier County (primary), with activity in Chattanooga, Tri-Cities, and select out-of-state tourism markets
About the Bank We are a destination-focused commercial bank serving one of the most active tourism regions in the country. With more than 13 million annual visitors, our markets are built around hospitality, attractions, food & beverage, and retail. Our lending model is collateral-driven, CRE-based, and centered around income-producing properties—not AR or traditional C&I lines.
We routinely support:
Short-term rental portfolios
Hotels and motels
Restaurants
Amusements & attractions
Tourism-driven retail
Equipment financing tied to CRE projects (e.g., outfitting hospitality venues)
We operate primarily in Sevier County, with expanding reach into Chattanooga, the Tri-Cities area, and select tourism-driven markets outside Tennessee.
The Opportunity We are seeking a high-capability Commercial Relationship Manager to step into a high-visibility role supporting and growing an established, active book of business. Recent staffing transitions have created a rare opportunity: one of our top producers—historically originating $60MM annually and managing a $380MM portfolio—has exited, leaving strong production volume and large-scale CRE relationships ready for the right person to take over.
This role is ideal for a lender who understands destination-driven CRE, can manage large and complex deals, and wants a high-earning environment with meaningful origination incentives.
What You’ll Do
Manage and grow a portfolio of CRE relationships across tourism-centric asset classes
Source, structure, and close large-scale commercial loans (commonly $10MM–$40MM+)
Develop new business within hospitality, attractions, and destination retail markets
Underwrite and present collateral-secured deals in partnership with credit teams
Build long-term relationships with owners, developers, and operators in tourism-heavy markets
Support equipment financing tied to CRE projects (e.g., restaurant FF&E)
Continue serving out-of-state borrowers with existing ties to the bank (Branson, Myrtle Beach, Florida)
Maintain strong portfolio oversight and ensure credit quality
Note: We are currently reducing lodging exposure in Knoxville and are not pursuing Nashville.
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience originating and managing commercial real estate loans
Familiarity with hospitality, tourism assets, and destination-based lending preferred
Ability to handle large, complex CRE deals and maintain a smaller but high-volume customer base
Strong credit knowledge and collateral-driven deal structuring skills
Relationship-focused approach with the ability to generate new business
High producer mentality — this role rewards lenders who can bring in deals
Compensation & Benefits Highly competitive package, including:
Origination incentive:
Deals commonly carry a 1% fee
You receive 0.25% of the origination fee, paid at loan submission
High producers can earn significant additional income
401(k): 6% match
Healthcare: Free individual coverage (family coverage available at additional cost)
Salary based on experience, with rapid upward movement for strong performers
