SVP or EVP Level (depending on experience)
Ready for the role that puts you on the path to COO or similar C-level roles?
On behalf of our growing banking client based in Baton Rouge, we are recruiting for a rare opportunity for a banking operations leader to step into a true second-in-command role and help shape the future of a growing, multi-state financial institution.
Partnering directly with the COO, this person will lead and scale critical operational functions with meaningful visibility, influence, and long-term upside. The role is designed as a successor-track opportunity for someone ready to take the next step.
The initial priorities will be focused Loan Operations and Deposit Operations, with leadership across various other departments, and the opportunity to expand scope over time. This leader will help drive operational efficiency, process improvement, compliance, systems optimization, and team performance while supporting the bank's continued growth and highly reputable culture as a best place to work in the banking industry. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both strategic perspective and the willingness to roll up your sleeves.
Key responsibilities include overseeing loan and deposit operations across retail, small business, CRE, and C&I developing and maintaining policies, procedures, and controls; supporting strategic planning and operational execution with the COO; analyzing staffing, profitability, and performance metrics; strengthening process efficiency and infrastructure; partnering with regional and market leaders; overseeing key vendor relationships and core systems; supporting system enhancements and releases; and leading, coaching, and holding teams accountable in a highly regulated environment.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is a strong operator and leader who is ready for the next step, not someone who is already long-tenured in a COO seat. This person should bring discipline, ownership, and a mindset focused on building and scaling for the future.
Position is onsite 100% and can be based in Baton Rouge or Lafayette, LA.
