Commercial Banking - Community Relations Coordinator

It starts with our culture ...
Common sense has never been common.
If it were, the world would be a different place. Things would run smoothly and on time. People would do what they say and say what they do. Everything would be fair, without all the small talk. And banks would only sell you what you need. When a banker looked at a client, they wouldn’t just see a number, they’d see a dad or a mom or a graduate or a business owner. Our Bankers understand the complexities of people’s lives and offer simple solutions.
That's the basics of Relationships. Fairness. Simplicity®. When you choose our Company, you have an opportunity to make an impact beyond the walls of our buildings.
We have a long-standing commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Through our banking relationships, investing, grants, and volunteerism, NBH Bank promotes the growth, revitalization, and sustainability of the communities we serve. We believe that these are important elements in building and sustaining a successful organization and a positive, results-driven culture. We strive for all of our associates to feel welcome and empowered at work.

Strengthening the Bank’s local presence through financial education, trusted partnerships, and community outreach.
Connecting individuals, families, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs with banking resources that advance financial empowerment and sustainable market growth.
Demonstrating initiative, sound judgment, organization, and cross-functional collaboration.
Providing reliable coordination and follow-through for community partners, banking teams, and the Market President.
