Gateway First Bank is seeking motivated, career-minded professionals to join our growing Business Banking Division as Vice Presidents of Business Banking.
**No previous banking experience is required!**
We believe that attitude, integrity, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to help others are more important than an extensive banking background.
If you enjoy meeting new people, developing professional relationships, working independently, and helping business owners succeed, this could be the career opportunity you've been searching for.
### Position Overview
As a Vice President of Business Banking, you will represent Gateway First Bank in your local business community, developing relationships with small and midsize business owners throughout your assigned market.
This is a **remote outside sales position**, allowing you to work from your home office while spending time meeting business owners, developing qualified prospects, and introducing banking and financial solutions designed to support their businesses.
You will work as a trusted business banking relationship professional, identifying opportunities to help businesses improve their payment processing, banking relationships, and financial operations.
This is a relationship-driven, performance-based sales career with opportunities to build long-term income.

**Additional Signing Bonus Opportunity**
If you already have established relationships with business owners who are ready to move their merchant processing services to Gateway First Bank, we are open to discussing an additional signing bonus arrangement as part of your compensation package.
These arrangements will be evaluated individually and are subject to bank approval.
