The Client Engagement Specialist’s (CES) primary role is to build and develop solid long-lasting client relationships over time through consistent delivery of competitive loan product offerings and loan servicing.
The CES follows up on pending cases and upcoming renewals, working closely with Senior Management to drive business volume.
The CES evaluates loan opportunities, underwrites the credit risk and delivers executable loan commitments/agreements offering competitive and marketable rates and loan terms to Agent/Broker clients.

Additionally, the CES is client facing, responsible for building trust, and is accountable for establishing and maintaining relationships with clients. They are the first and primary go-to contact for the client and will work with the client throughout the process. Additionally, the CES must follow-up to secure quote and renewal opportunities while building/maintaining Client relationships over time.

Search Finance Jobs in IllinoisFinance Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
Which finance companies sponsor visas in Illinois?
Major visa sponsors in Illinois include JPMorgan Chase, Northern Trust, CME Group, and Abbott Laboratories' finance division. Chicago-based trading firms like Citadel Securities and DRW Trading also frequently sponsor visas for quantitative analysts and traders. Regional banks like Wintrust Financial and First Midwest Bank sponsor for commercial banking and credit analysis roles.
Which cities in Illinois have the most finance sponsorship jobs?
Chicago dominates Illinois finance visa sponsorship, with over 80% of opportunities concentrated in the Loop, River North, and West Loop neighborhoods. Suburban areas like Schaumburg and Oak Brook host corporate headquarters offering sponsorship for finance roles. Smaller markets like Peoria and Springfield have limited but consistent opportunities with regional financial institutions.
How to find finance visa sponsorship jobs in Illinois?
Use Migrate Mate to search specifically for finance roles with visa sponsorship in Illinois. The platform filters positions by companies with proven H-1B filing history in the state. Focus on Chicago-based roles first, as they represent the majority of Illinois finance sponsorship opportunities, then expand to suburban corporate headquarters for broader options.
What visa types are most common for finance roles in Illinois?
H-1B visas dominate Illinois finance sponsorship, particularly for financial analysts, risk managers, and investment banking roles. O-1 visas are used for senior executives and specialized trading professionals. L-1 transfers are common among international banks and financial services firms with Chicago operations, especially for relationship management and corporate banking positions.
Are there specific considerations for finance visa sponsorship in Illinois?
Illinois prevailing wage requirements can be higher than national averages, particularly for Chicago finance roles, which strengthens visa applications. The state's proximity to major universities like University of Chicago and Northwestern creates strong talent pipelines that employers leverage for entry-level sponsorship. Chicago's STEM OPT-friendly environment helps international students transition to sponsored positions.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored finance jobs in Illinois?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
