First United Bank has the fiduciary infrastructure, the institutional backing, and the integrated wealth platform to become a premier provider of trust and fiduciary services in the Texas and Oklahoma market. What we need now is the person who helps grow it.

This is a market-facing, relationship-driven, business development leadership position for a trust professional who is genuinely energized by building - not maintaining. The right candidate will become one of the most visible and influential trust professionals in this region.

This role carries significant influence over the strategic direction of the Trust platform - and the latitude to help shape what it becomes.

Integrate Trust Into the Delos Wealth Experience

• Partner with Delos Private Client Group advisors and financial planners to identify and convert trust opportunities within the existing client base
• Train and educate advisors on trust capabilities and opportunity identification
• Serve as the Trust resource in high-value client and prospect meetings

Own the Growth Strategy

• Track and manage a new business pipeline with consistent follow-through
• Identify opportunities in institutional trustee services, directed trusts, and special needs trust administration

The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions

Education and Work Experience

• Bachelor's degree required
• 10+ years in trust, estate planning, or wealth management
• Demonstrated success in trust business development or relationship management

This Role Is Right For You If...

• You are comfortable calling on attorneys and CPAs and asking for business
• You think of yourself as a builder, not a maintainer
• You want your income to reflect what you produce
• You want a platform and the freedom to go develop it

This role is not the right fit if your strength is trust administration, you prefer managing existing relationships to building new ones, or you've never carried a pipeline or been measured on new business.

Why First United Bank:

• A financially strong, independent community bank with deep Texas and Oklahoma roots
• A Trust platform with fiduciary infrastructure, regulatory standing, and operational capability ready to scale
• An integrated Wealth & Asset Management division - Delos Private Client Group, SLW Investments, and Financial Planning - serving HNW clients across the region
• Executive leadership committed to Trust growth with the resources to compete
• A Dallas/Plano market that is genuinely underserved by relationship-driven corporate trustees relative to the wealth that exists here
• The opportunity to be one of the key architects in building something meaningful from the ground up - not simply joining it after it has already been built
