Senior Credit Products Officer

Most weeks tend to involve client engagement, complex credit work, junior-officer coaching, and the steady cadence of portfolio leadership — sitting with major borrowers on strategic credit conversations, leading large credit-committee submissions, mentoring junior officers, monitoring portfolio trends. You're often carrying the bank's deepest commercial relationships with material credit exposure. New commitments and portfolio quality tend to be the operating measures.

The harder part is often the senior credit accountability — large credits and complex deals age across multi-year tenors, and senior officers stay attached to the relationship and the credit. Bank variance is real: at large banks senior credit-products officers specialize by industry or product; at community and regional banks the senior officer carries broader portfolio responsibility.

It fits people who are commercially curious, deeply credit-fluent, and steady in client and credit-committee conversations. CCM, CRC, and CFA credentials anchor advancement. The trade-off is the long-tail credit accountability — bad loans surface years after the originating decision, and the senior officer's name stays attached.
