Job Summary
OMB is looking for an experienced Agricultural Lender to join our thriving team in the Springfield, MO market. As a representative of the bank, you play a key role in strengthening brand recognition while increasing our market presence by engaging with community members who can benefit from the products and services offered with a focus on agricultural lending activities.
The Agricultural Lender will serve as a trusted guide for borrowers throughout the commercial lending process, from preparing and submitting loan applications through closing. This role includes structuring and underwriting agricultural loans using a variety of funding and repayment options, as well as managing a loan portfolio for the life of the loan. Ongoing portfolio responsibilities include monitoring draws, overdrafts, and past-due accounts.

Loan Officers must be licensed through applicable state and national authorities and are expected to perform in alignment with established performance, portfolio, and growth standards.
At OMB, we believe banking is built on relationships, not transactions. Our lenders are empowered to make meaningful decisions, develop long-term customer partnerships, and truly know the communities they serve. We offer a collaborative team environment and strong operational support.
With a growing footprint and a commitment to local markets, OMB provides the stability of an established bank with the opportunity to make a visible impact.
