We are changing FINANCE to finance CHANGE!

At Climate First Bank, we’re redefining what banking can be. As a Florida Benefit Corporation and FDIC-insured commercial bank, we offer a full suite of personal and business services—including solar, residential, commercial, and SBA loans—all designed to power a better future.

With branches in St. Petersburg, Winter Park, Mount Dora, and a growing digital presence, we’re proving that banking can be a force for good. We don’t just support environmental and social causes—we’re built on them.

Join the Movement

We’re looking for driven, mission-aligned individuals ready to make an impact. If you’re passionate about sustainability, thrive in a fast-paced and results driven environment, and want to be part of something bigger, you’ll feel right at home.

Our team is made up of goal-setters, go-getters, and changemakers. We celebrate wins, tackle challenges head-on, and push the boundaries of what a bank can do. If you’re fueled by purpose and excellence, this is your place.

Now Hiring: Branch Administrator

We’re looking for a Branch Manager/ Branch Administrator who is ready to take the reins and lead multiple retail branches to new heights. This is a high-impact role where you’ll drive production, ensure operational excellence, and champion customer satisfaction—all while helping us grow our footprint and deepen our community roots.

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to be part of a start-up experience unlike anything in the traditional banking world. This role will be based out of our Downtown Orlando office, where you will be acting Branch Manager, once we convert to a full branch. This role will also require some local travel between our other physical branch locations as noted above.
