By building bridges between communities and the food systems within them, we’re powering the revival of local, sustainable food in New England and New York. Our business has two sides, on one hand we’ll be lending to qualified food and farm businesses across the food value chain. On the other, we’re pursuing a state banking charter to open deposit accounts for anyone who [loves/eats/grows/cooks] local food in early 2022. We’ve chosen the mutual governance model because we intend to build an institution focused not on the next quarter but on the next century. But a true mutual takes plenty of partners—as such, we intend to provide attractive deposit products, designed to “Grow Your Change” by connecting partners to our mission and the greater sustainable food and agriculture eco system.

As our PX Associate you will be responsible for supporting our consumer and business partners at our retail banking storefront and contact center in Concord, New Hampshire. You’ll thrive in this role by understanding both our values and those of our varied partner base. We’re looking for an ambitious teammate interested in learning and growing as we build our community.
