Blake Oliver Consulting is working with one of Australia's major banking groups to appoint a Local Business Banker into their Hobart branch, based in the inner-CBD. This is a growth hire, as the bank builds out its business banking presence in the Hobart market.

You'll build, acquire and maintain standout relationships with small business customers, with a primary focus on first-party home lending and business lending. You'll inherit an established “nuts and bolts” portfolio and take ownership of growing it further — working flexibly and proactively, embedded locally in-branch, to deliver the best possible experience for your customers and find new ways to build your customer base, including internal referral networks and, where they arise, external referral partnerships.

What You'll Do

- Manage and grow an existing portfolio of small business customers, with home lending and business lending as the core focus
- Proactively source new business across the local Hobart market, building your own pipeline through local networking, walk-ins and internal referrals
- Structure and present lending solutions that meet customer needs, operating within delegated lending authority
- Build relationships with referral partners where genuine opportunities arise, while keeping first-party acquisition as your main focus
- Manage your own workload independently, balancing portfolio management with new business development while out in the market





What We're Looking For

- Background in small business and home lending, with a track record of finding and generating current business
- Proven results exceeding customer expectations, ideally with sales targets in a retail or business banking environment
- Hands-on retail lending experience, holding full credit conversations with customers and structuring solutions across multiple products
- Strong people skills, enjoys meeting new faces and building networks
- Strong business acumen and solid organisational skills, particularly for managing workload independently while on the go

Why Apply

- Join a growing business banking team with real scope to shape your own portfolio
- Inherit a live book from day one, rather than starting from zero
- Structured onboarding designed to build confidence and capability quickly
- Market salary package plus superannuation
- Backed by one of Australia's most trusted banking brands
